From January 8th-29th 2011 a

team of 7 St John Volunteer First Aiders

attended a joint project with Antipodeans

Abroad based in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

During our time we ran

different health workshops

which included; oral hygiene,

hand washing, basic hygiene,

nutrition, manual handling,

kitchen safety and a series of

first aid sessions in burns,

fractures, snake bites, wound

care and bleeds.

We visited several additional

schools in and around Siem

Reap during our time. During

this time we taught over 1 000

staff, students and community

members.

Thanks to the Australian Youth Council for their hard work and

organisation of this project. Thank you to all VFAS members

who supported me, it was truly appreciated. Everyone on the

trip thoroughly enjoyed the experience and skills in which we

gained. The trip was truly a worthwhile trip and I would recom-

mend it to anyone and everyone.

In the course of three weeks we

distributed over 350 toothbrushes

and toothpastes, books, beginners

English books, whiteboards, poster,

charts, flyers, sports equipment and

several water filtration systems for

the water pumps.
