First aid training at St John Ambulance Zimbabwe has been an incredible learning curve. The training which comprised of Advanced First Aid and Home-based care lessons. These were from 8am-4pm with breaks in between. All our effort put it will be worth it not only for competitions but also in the future. We have learnt a lot from it and are hoping to use the knowledge and understanding we have gained to do our best in Hong Kong.
First aiders from Chisipite Senior School and Dominican Convent have been selected by St John Ambulance Zimbabwe to attend the International Cadet Competitions in Hong Kong. This is an eventful competition, full of excitement and a platform for us to gain experience from. I hope you follow us through our journey.
