The
Curaçao Red Cross,
overseas branch of the Netherlands Red Cross, held a refresher
course for its 11 Instructors Trainers (IT) of its Together We
Can (TWC) program.
The refresher was held January 12 – 14.
Its three National Trainers Ethline, Gianetta and Fisenthly,
conducted an excellent workshop under the supervision of Kerwin
from Trinidad & Tobago Red Cross and Delando from St. Vincent
and the Grenadines Red Cross.
The IT's worked hard, sometimes
late into the night to ensure they were re-certified. On the
Saturday evening, the group took a break and had a party to celebrate
Fisenthly’s birthday.
The next training will be at the beginning
of March for Peer Educators (PE); 20 PE's will be chosen to work
with their peers.
The Curaçao TWC program is made possible
with funding from the Netherlands Government through USONA. TWC
is a peer education programme operated by the Red Cross across
the region. |
