I've been on this course and it is fantastic. I can't say enough good things about Bandage International, the Belize Red Cross and all of the folks involved. Highly recommended.

Hey all! The course will be held at Fido's South "SandBar"

Yay, what a good choice. Nice people, great location. Food and drink a plenty.

Great response so far! I have a few seats left for anyone else interested.

We'll finaly get to meet!

Signing up for the course, great thing to have here on the island! Just for the record, the Sandbar is no longer a Fido's property, not affiliated with Fido's. Is just The Sandbar. And have to say their pina coladas are TO DIE FOR!!! =)

Ohh, I don't intend to take the course, but will be there to help out.

good response so far to the course... our goal remains to continue to add to the number of people who have taken red cross certified training and in turn become qualified to train their friends and families on the island, building a pyramid of knowledge. This is how this knowledge will become self sustaining and continue to help in the long term. So please spread the word and let's get even more people involved...

Thanks Darryl,

for spending your private time to teach us.

Looking forward for the advanced CPR Training.

You're very Welcome! I still have a few seats left so please spread the word and lets have as many people as we can attend this course!

This is a great first aid and CPR course---I recommend it and very strongly suggest trying to get there, you will learn how to save lives. It may be the life of a loved one that you save.

I have taken this course and it teaches CPR the use of an AED machine, basic bandaging, how to control bleeding, how to spot a stroke, heat exhaustion and many other conditions that we come across in our everyday lives. If we can spot the problems and know what to do immediately it certainly could save lives.

This is a 2 day course - each participant will receive a red cross certificate confirming that they have attended the classes.

Anyone what to share a ride? I'll be at Fido's around 830... sure could use a ride. PM me if you can help out.

Thanks

We had a great first day, I'll upload a few pics in a bit. I could also use a ride from Fido's on Weds. I have a Ambergris Cell now, PM me for the #.
