“हरेक बिहानीले एउटा दिन बनाउछ 

हरेक दिनले एउटा इतिहास बनाउछ

गरेनौ खोजी आज हामीले भने 

भोली हाम्रो इतिहास कसले बताउछ”-Amar Karki

On February 9, 2020, very first time in Florida Nepal Study Forum and Community Services committee of Nepalese Association of Florida (NAF) organized a program called “Interaction with Nepalese Senior Citizens of South Florida” at Wellington Library, West Palm Beach. The goal of the program was to provide an opportunity Nepalese community to interact with our seniors who came USA 4, 5 decades ago and made our history in US. In this program three great personalities Mr. Pramod Sharma, Dr. Bhogendra Khanal and Dr. Min Bahadur Rayamajhi were the speakers who shared their stories about the time when they landed here and the life journey from Nepal to here in South Florida. Community members of all ages from South Florida attended the program.

    NAF hosts Basic Life Support Program

    This Program is FREE, please RSVP

    When: July 13, 2019, 10:00am-12:00pm

    The abrupt loss of heart function is called Cardiac Arrest which may happen in a person with or without heart disease. It may happen suddenly or may come with symptoms. It is often fatal if immediate and appropriate steps are not taken immediately. Most of the time it happens outside the health facilities. So, it is very important for the non-medical providers to know the skills and the basics of CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation) and AED (Automated External Defibrillator) use in the community.

    Basic Life Support (BLS) is the primary medical aid provided to a person in an emergency medical situation. It is important to understand that the objective of BLS is not to ‘treat’ the person but to buy some valuable time until the emergency medical aid arrives.

    AED stands for Automated External Defibrillator. It is a safe and easy to use device that delivers a therapeutic electric shock to the heart as treatment for a victim in Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA).

    Objectives:

    • To help understand the basics of CPR .
    • To be able to use the AED.
    • To employ community Basic Life Support (drowning and choking)

    Method:

    Lecture on BLS guidelines

    Hands on demonstration with certified instructor using manikin and AED

    Venue, Date and Time

    10478 NW 31st Terrace, Miami, FL 33172 

    July 13, 2019

    10:00 am – 12:00 am

    This is a FREE event

    Donation to cover lunch is appreciated
