Today we started with our first aid course our presentator was Gerrit... He is in first aid for 15 years now and is doing training for 7 years.
*Make patients needs a priority.
*Maintain skills, knowledge.
*Get information about injuries.
*Critically review performance (seek ways to improve)
*Prepare honest reports.
We learned that HELP doesn't mean you have to help the person physically.
This was a very interresting course I did, because i've never done CPR to a person before...I enjoyed it very much and would like to go futher in the course...
We did some pratical but most of the time it was theory.
24 February
Today it was our second day of our course...we finished the book and learned much more about snake bites etc. We wrote a test and did a practical test on CPR. It was a exciting day for everyone and later the evening we started doing pratical examinations like car accidents etc.
Everyone passed the course and had a great day.

Drawing of a cat:
We had to draw a cat on a plain piece of paper. What the cat's name is, what does he/she eat, what colour the cat is, male or female, colour of eyes, habits ect.
We showed the classmates our cats and told them about our cats. It was quite interressting and funny. There were round cats, perfect cats that looked like paintings. But it didn't matter about how the cat looked like it was all about communication.
Communication was good and we laughed allot.
My cat (Whiskers) is brown with blue eyes, he love's tuna and is a fat, healthy cat.
Building a tower:
Group members:
Game with string
Everybody is blindfolded and stringed with strings & paperclips the group leader (Dewaldt) had to lead us to the cup without touching us. All he had to do is direct us to the cup. You have 3 drop chances, third one is out. The key had to fall in the cup. Everybody laughed, it was funny and also very fun. Some people got mad because nobody watched them how they played the game.
Egg in cup

Warmbad (Bela Bela) Tour
Today was a day to get to learn the town...we all had a meeting were we talked about rules of the bus and what tipe of questions you can ask a customer when on a tour. We arrived in town at about 09:20 were we stopped at Information Centre. At the Information Centre you get basic information about Bela Bela, where to eat, shop, ect. The waterfront was named after a piece of water that couvered the whole area. It was a big soggy place.
Our next stop was at the Sondela office's near the graveyard we just stopped there and had a look at it, so that we can know where to find it.
After it we arrived at 09:50 where we had a little visit at the Graveyard. It was named Headbutt and Paul Kruger wanted to buy it. Christina Pretorius the wife of Andries Pretorius (one of the voortrekker leaders) thought she would get better if she drink water, but it only made matters worse. She was born in 1800 and died at the age of 48 in 1848. Her surname was before she married Andries Roode. They had a grand opening on the 10 th of December 1938.
At 10:07 we arrived at the African Market, this is a place where they contribute their prices and make it allot cheaper. The Taxi rank across the African Market has about +-40-70 000 taxi's. Here you have to know what to do and what not to do.

After a few minutes we went to a historical place...Blockhouse at about 10:30 we learned about the Blockhouse history. It was build by Englis to protect the railway from attacks. Was carrying supplies. Blockhouse was erected by the British forces during the Anglo-Boer war (1899-1902)to protect the railway. It formed part if the line of blockhouses from houpoort to Pietersburg. There are 7 manning the blockhouse. Made own crops.
