Current work...

I am trying to organize some CPR and basic first aid training session for teachers at middle/high schools. Over here there are no nurses or anything of that nature at the schools so if there is a medical problem (like someone choking or a cut or something) they have to send a kid to the local health center and wait. I know a lot of health volunteers would enjoy being certified in this stuff and sharing it with the teachers in their communities. Luckily there is a group called Mercy Ship in Cotonou right now. They are a group of american volunteers who sail around the world in a big ship performing free medical procedures. I talked with a few crew members and they seemed very enthusiastic abut being able to help us out.
