Last week, a training course took place at the Szadowo-Młyn GOCC Training Centre for candidates certified by the American Heart Association (AHA) who are applying to become GOCC instructors. The training was part of the “CPR for Schools” educational program.
15 participants were trained by 8 instructors.
The training covered first aid knowledge. This involved providing CPR with an AED for all age groups, including adults, children, and infants, as well as addressing trauma, accidents, environmental emergencies, and immediate life-threatening conditions. Classes were also held on topics related to the instructor's workshop and soft skills.
Soon the trainees will have a chance to test the skills they acquired during the training and move one step closer to becoming instructors of the educational program “CPR for Schools.” Next week, on April 18 and 19, we will be training teachers from several dozen primary schools in the Łódzkie Voivodeship.
As you already know, we play with everyone and for everyone. What is more, in Warsaw we play in a totally new location! For the first time ever the heart of the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity will be beating at the PGE Narodowy meadows.
On 9 May in Poland, we celebrate the Ophthalmologists and Ophthalmology Day – a very special date for the GOCC Foundation. Since 2001 we have run the Prevention of Retinopathy of Prematurity Programme!
Traditionally, on Fridays just before the Grand Finale fundraiser, the GOCC Foundation hosts a press conference to sum up the preparations for the annual collection. Jurek Owsiak will present all our initiatives, actions, and activities as we prepare to celebrate another edition of the joyous celebration of kindness!
