| The Support Committee and Firefighter Team of Fall 2013's ASI-Yorito! |
Introduction
"Certificate in Integral Health"
was developed with volunteers who work with various local
organizations in Yorito, Honduras. Working together, we have worked
hard to emphasize the importance of contributing to the well-being of
the people, especially those in need.
The course takes place from September
27 to September 29. This systematic program was developed by The
Executive Committee and Dr. Byron Morales over a period of three
years. The workshop was directed by firefighters of Yoro, under the
command of Lieutenant Vallejo. All was executed satisfactorily, and
all went as planned.
Workshop Development
President of the Support Committee
Jovel González, eloquently expressed words of welcome to all of the
participants and introduced the team of firefighters. He briefly
explained the purpose of the volunteer group and their intentions for
being in Yoro, and concluded by inviting the volunteers to take
advantage of the opportunity by asking questions.
Jovel, on behalf of the Secretary of
Health of Yoro, gave a brief review of general health concepts and
the importance of these concepts to the lives of individuals,
families, and society. He also highlighted the consequences that
occur when the recommendations of health specialists are ignored.
He then ceded the floor to the
firefighters, who touched upon topics related to first responders.
Methodology
The firefighters employed a method
called staggered rhythms. . They formed three working groups and in
sequences, each subgroup took turns examining the first responder
module. These themes included:
-Definition of First Responders
-How to react in an emergency and
apply first response
-Bleeding and how to control it
-How to protect wounds
-Breaks and fractures, and how to
proceed
-Shock and how to help
Results
Active participation of 98% of the
participants during the first responder training. 14 volunteers from
the local fire squad and "World Vision" experts joined us
in the development of the workshop.
Contribution
by 40% in the contribution of quota agreed by the committee of
L.30.00 support per
participant. Opening fire department to
strengthen the subject of first aid developed long as workshop
participants cover their fuel.
Agreements
The
material that was used for the development of the workshop support
committee promised to print for given to each participant. The next
date for the development of next module was agreed with Dr. Byron
Morales that were subsequently communicated to participants as is
being done at present.
The support committee to defray the
cost of the next module will meet to plan and manage resources
required to support the same and also the participants voluntarily
provide the amount of L.30.00 per person.

1. Write a letter. Dr. Camp presented me with the idea
of a letter writing campaign. He advised that I should mail or e-mail
everyone I had ever come in to contact with a letter asking for a
donation towards the trip. He presented me with a basic letter template
that I could modify. I wrote family friends, co-workers, priests,
college friends, professors, ex-boyfriends, neighbors, my friend's
parents---pretty much anyone I had ever come into contact with.
