Vetrimanai staff and beneficiaries receive first aid training
 

[CWDT- 19 November 2007]
 

The staff and beneficiaries of Vetrimanai received full day emergency first aid training on 19 November 2007. The first aid training was run under the supervision of Dr Sivamanoharan. First trainers from international INGOs functioning in Kilinochchi ran the full day training.

The training although primarily aimed at the staff was also attended by some of the beneficiaries who were capable of gaining from the training.

Vetrimanai presently has 148 beneficiaries and they are affected by the increasing aerial bombardments some of which have fallen very close to their residence, cracking the walls.

The first aid training will, therefore, not only benefit them in case of emergencies but also will provide a degree of confidence in dealing with the trauma of awaiting for an emergency.
