In line with the Women’s Month Celebration this month, the JCI Narra Grains in partnership with the Narra Municipal Risk Reduction and Management Office (MDRRMO) on Saturday, March 26, conducted a basic life support training exclusively for the young women in the said town.
Some 16 young women aging from 18-30 years old joined the free training in time for the observance of the Women’s Month celebration.
The participants undergo a training for emergency cardiovascular care and psychomotor training- where they could develop physical skills such as movement, coordination, manipulation, dexterity, strength and speed guided by signals from the environment.
