disabilities
i am from Hyderabad, Naresh.
we already have a basic document about First-Aid in word format. we
need for it to be organized in a better manner, like an accessible
booklet or in Braille, for those who prefer it that way. it has
sufficient information to give someone the confidence on what should
be done, or not done in case of a medical emergency.
someone can take on the onus to get it done.
Best,
Payal

hello Aruni,
happy to know you are interested in this programme.
we can perhaps talk about details over a call. if you could share your
contact number with me, we could discuss this at a mutually convenient
time.
Best,

activities. Please let me know what needs to be done in this regard.

hi All,
this might be a lengthy mail. request you to bear with me, since there
is some useful information here.
i have, in the past few months begun working with an organization
working in the field of saving lives- selling medical emergency
equipment, disaster preparedness, first aid kits, evacuation
equipment, and the like. part of our job is also to train individuals,
and organizations in first-aid, and CPR. to ensure i have the facts
right, i've aquired a certification from the American Heart
Association's Basic life support programme as a service provider. it
was interesting to teach the doctors how to work around a person with
total blindness and partial hearing impairment, while learning life
saving skills from them.
going one step further, i was in Bangalore,partnering with Rotary
Bangalore Abilities- at Samarthanam Trust last weekend to train
persons with vision impairment and a couple of other disabilities the
art of saving a life.
a day long programme taught them how to identify a heart attack, its
difference from a cardiac arrest and the quick response time.
additionally, we walked them through all the CPR manouvers practically
on medical manikins. we also taught them how to use the External
Automated Defibrillator, the equipment that delivers a shock to revive
a heart from a cardiac arrest.
all this is possible for us, the lay people, with and without
disabilities.
since we also deal with first-aid kits, i was keen on having something
simple for folks who didn't see. for that, i'd had a few sample kits
designed, and distributed to the participants who had a positive
feedback. there is always space for improvement and that comes with
suggestions from the community. the idea is also to make these kits
cost effective, and easy to use. i have in mind to have one simple
travel kit, and one slightly involved home kit.
the purpose of this whole story is to discuss how little is being done
in this particular space with us, the relatively more vulnerable
cross-section of society. we all live with families, and are
responsible citizens, and efficient workers at our work spaces. why
then, shouldn't we have the ability to be a resource who can save a
life? i have only become more convinced and passionate about this in
the months i've worked at it.
i am keen to take this knowledge to more organizations, groups, work
spaces, and of course, individuals.
i would be more than happy to discuss this with anyone interested in
knowing more.
thanks for having read this, in case you've made it until the end. :)
Best,
Payal
