NGO “Volunteer - 68” is always on the alert

The "Volunteer - 68" Humanitarian Aid Center regularly conducts first aid training for its employees. It is quite natural that in an association of volunteers whose main activity is to protect the life and health of mostly elderly people with physical disabilities and people with disabilities, familiarity with first aid methods is, so to speak, a moral imperative.

It is obvious that volunteer evacuation crews or colleagues with medical education do not need such training. They are professionals. However, the team consists not only of those who work in the field. Lawyers, accountants, call center operators, cooks, cleaners and car mechanics - for them, even if they have basic knowledge of first aid, it is a sign of belonging to the rescuers' corporation.

So once a month, together and individually, we hone our skills in the first steps and measures that can save lives and preserve the health of a neighbor in an emergency in various horrific scenarios that our first aid instructors are good at inventing.

And it's probably not surprising that, in addition to real benefits and moral satisfaction, such training can give you a sense of both security and strength.
