The Guyana Red Cross Society conducted
community-based first aid training in the community of Shulinab,
in Region 9 during the month of March, at the request of the
community leaders.
Community members were guided as to how they can make a food
chart, towards the aim of having a balanced diet, as their main
meal consists mostly of starch. They expressed keen interest
in the different methods of using bandages for the different
types of injury.
Fourteen community members were present at this training, which
was carried out by Ashanta Moses and the GRC Lethem team, Julie
Kanhai and Jason Foo. Other leaders in Region 9 have requested
that Guyana Red Cross carry out the same kind of training in their
communities.
