Thanks to Eve, Alex Rotary has approached Rotary District to help out with life saving in Uganda
The club was delighted to be approached by Eve Fraser, who has a passion for life saving in Uganda, specifically in the Lake Victoria district, where she has many close contacts. Eve is currently a member of the Brisbane club Rotary, although she lives in Alex Headland.
So we've got behind the application and if successful it will leave a legacy of knowledge and skills in the region, that will save many lives now and in the future.
The project involves a team of expert trainers delivering a range of CPR, First Aid, rescue and fire safety training to 50 first responders in the Lake Victoria District of Uganda. Activities are consistent with the Australian standard for first aid, bronze medallion and lifeguard training. One thing thats not included (yet) is oxy viva and defibrillator training. Instead Eve and the team have placed more emphasis on the key elements of getting to the casualty, removing them from the water, correct assessment and applying first aid.
Here we see training around water incidents/ Developing rescue and recovery skills of the first responders to assist those affected by near drowning experience.
And of course it will lead to improving fitness and knowledge for those living on and around water together with improved knowledge & correct use of rescue equipment.
All with the goal of reduced preventable deaths by drowning.
Good on you Eve, and thanks for thinking of Alex Rotary. 
. Always happy to help.
