Our Youth Program is still happening, even in quarantine. We hear from one of our Youth Members, Minaal, about her recent experience in learning from home.

This week in St John we focused on the topic ‘Wounds and Bleeding’ and learnt about the six types of wounds and how to treat severe bleeding. Unfortunately being in quarantine makes it difficult for us to apply and practice these practical skills. However, our wonderful leaders encouraged creative ways to do that. As I looked around my room, I saw a desperate, distressed teddy bear who needed my help immediately as he had fallen down and suffered a lacerated arm. I thought to myself what a great opportunity to practice my bandaging skills. The teddy bear was very thankful at the end. You never know when these first aid skills can be handy.
