Teaching Little Ones: A Fulfilling Experience in Life-Saving Skills

Teaching Little Ones: A Fulfilling Experience in Life-Saving Skills

Teaching young minds is always a fascinating experience. Their curiosity, eagerness to learn, and ability to grasp new skills make every moment worthwhile. I recently had the privilege of conducting a life-saving skills training session for Scouts & Guides, Junior Red Cross (JRC) members, and other student groups at a primary school in Cherukara - my very own village.

The enthusiasm of these young learners was truly inspiring. A total of 87 students participated in the program, eager to understand and practice essential emergency response techniques. Alongside me, Dr. Supriya, Dr. Neethu, Dr. Kamal, Dr. Shebin, and Ms. Shahana joined as instructors, making the session engaging and interactive.

This initiative was organized by Aster MIMS Calicut, IMA CGP Kozhikode, and EMS Hospital Perintalmanna. The combined effort of these institutions ensured that the students received quality training in basic life support (BLS), first aid, and emergency response strategies.

Seeing young students confidently learning CPR, bleeding control, and airway management was heartening. Their willingness to engage in hands-on training and ask insightful questions showed the importance of integrating such programs into school curriculums.

This experience reaffirmed my belief that emergency preparedness should start young. Equipping children with life-saving skills empowers them to act effectively in crisis situations, potentially making a difference in their communities.

Cherukara holds a special place in my heart, and training the next generation there was not just an opportunity—it was an honor. I hope to see these young learners grow into responsible citizens, ready to make a difference when it matters most.
