In Banaba, it’s not a question of if there will be another flood - only when. That’s why your gifts to help the community prepare for disaster are so essential.
Like all of our rescue team members, Maria is devoted to helping her community. But, if the worst comes to the worst and Maria needs to evacuate someone who has been injured, Maria needs to know what to do.
That’s why we recently helped community leaders learn about first aid.
Over an intensive two day course led by army personnel, rescue team members like Maria learned CPR, how to safety move someone who may have a spinal cord injury, how to splint a broken bone, how to navigate through smoke – as floods often trigger fires – and much more.
Your donations funded this training – thanks so much!
The first aid training isn't the end of our support for Maria and community leaders like her. We'll be hosting more trainings and community building events in the future. We'll post updates on that work right here on GlobalGiving, so stay tuned.
Thanks again for your support, and very kind regards!
