Mempersiapkan Diri Untuk Bencana

Seramai 30 orang sukarelawan telah menyertai Disaster Training Siri 01 pada 28 - 30 Mac lepas. Dalam latihan ini, para sukarelawan didedahkan dengan pemahaman asas dan mempersiapkan diri bersukarela semasa bencana. Antara topik yang telah dibincangkan adalah persiapan diri, keselamatan diri, asas komunikasi dan beberapa topik yang berkaitan.

Daripada maklumbalas yang diterima, para sukarelawan mengalu-alukan latihan sebegini dan ramai yang berpendapat latihan yang lebih lasak perlu dijalankan supaya mereka dapat membiasakan diri dengan situasi bencana sebenar.

SALAM sedang merancang untuk menjalankan Disaster Training Siri 02 yang akan mendedahkan sukarelawan kepada kemahiran-kemahiran tertentu untuk bersukarela semasa bencana. Latihan siri 02 ini, dijangkakan lebih lasak, 'menyeksakan' dan lebih 'real' dengan situasi bencana sebenar. Antara topik perbincangan yang dicadangkan adalah first aid, menyelamat dalam air, survival skill, pengurusan diri dan emosi serta ketahanan diri.

Tahniah dan syabas kepada semua sukarelawan yang berjaya mengharungi latihan asas ini!

Helping Hand - a true story !

Pickup in the Rain

One night, at 11:30 PM, an older African American woman was standing on the side of an Alabama highway trying to endure a lashing rain storm. Her car had broken down and she desperately needed a ride. Soaking wet, she decided to flag down the next car. A young white man stopped to help her - generally unheard of in those conflict-filled 1960s. The man took her to safety, helped her get assistance and put her into a taxi cab. She seemed to be in a big hurry! She wrote down his address, thanked him and drove away.

Seven days went by and a knock came on the man's door. To his surprise, a giant console color TV was delivered to his home. A special note was attached. It read: "Thank you so much for assisting me on the highway the other night. The rain drenched not only my clothes but my spirits. Then you came along. Because of you, I was able to make it to my dying husband's bedside just before he passed away. God bless you for helping me and unselfishly serving others."

Lessons:

* Offer help to anyone who needs it

* Thank others for helping you.

* If you help someone. Someone will help you.

If everyone does just these, the whole world will live in happiness.

So volunteers, just continue with what you are doing - helping others!
