| The Deaf Development Programme contacted the Cambodian Red Cross and they sent a team of instructors to provide two days of basic first aid training. |
 |
| Here the instructor demonstrates how to fold a bandage while Phirom (blue shirt) interprets the instructions into Cambodian Sign Language for the deaf staff. |
 |
| Then the staff had the opportunity to practice folding the bandages themselves, to see if they had learned the procedure. |
 |
| The second day of training focused on CPR, cardio-pulmonary resuscitation. A specialized, responsive mannequin was used but staff also served as volunteers. |
 |
| We hope that our staff will be better equipped to deal with emergencies in the future, after this training. We are especially concerned about students in our hostels for whom we are responsible 24 hours per day. |
