Millennium Fellowship Project: All Hands Project
The All Hands Project is an initiative focused on teaching everyday people how to respond to basic medical emergencies before professional help arrives. Many people hesitate in emergency situations not because they don't want to help or they don't care, but because of fear, or they just do not know what to do. My project solves this problem by providing simple and practical steps that anyone can follow. We will be using social media, workshops and community outreaches to teach skills like Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR), stopping severe bleeding, what to do when someone has been electrocuted, drowned, having a seizure or choking e.t.c. The goal is to help people feel prepared so they can act quickly instead of waiting for others to step in. The All Hands Project will help people realize that they do not need to be doctors or paramedics to help in an emergency. They just need to know what to do and be willing to do it.
