​In this week from 11th to 14th September HPR have reached three school where at GS Ste famille and GS Ndera students learnt about CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation is a lifesaving technique useful in many emergencies, including a heart attack or near drowning, in which someone's breathing or heartbeat has stopped.) and Recovery position (a position used in first aid to prevent choking in unconscious patients. While  at Ste Ignace students from health club learnt about Road safety.
It was carried out by Augustin, Christophe, Alice Igisaro, Abibeshya Claudine , Theophille Niyigena, and Sosthene ( HPR volunteers) where  students from health club at the above mentioned schools were very happy and showed interest to learn  more about First Aid And Road safety.
The effort seems to be working. A number of students who took the class were able to do CPR themselves at the end of the session.
As another round of students finished doing compressions on the dummies, HPR Volunteers told them that immediate and effective hands-only CPR  increase more than double  of the chances to  survive  the cardiac arrest in victims.

At the end of the session HPR volunteers told the Student that " You can have an ambulance on every corner, but it’s not going to be as fast as the bystander who is present when cardiac arrest strikes"
As the end of the teaching session one of the students was happy to share with us his thought on this teaching sessions. He said "It’s never been done in my school before,” said Student from Ste Famille, “And we are learning a lot. We’ll be using it as a model so we can use CPR (Cardiopulmonary resuscitation) by saving the life of many people die from cardiac arrest

It's our aim to teach as many youth as possible about how to prevent road crashes. Together we can reduce deaths and injuries from road crashes. Good job by HPR volunteers
