From January 8th-29th 2011 a
team of 7 St John Volunteer First Aiders
attended a joint project with Antipodeans
Abroad based in Siem Reap, Cambodia.
During our time we ran
different health workshops
which included; oral hygiene,
hand washing, basic hygiene,
nutrition, manual handling,
kitchen safety and a series of
first aid sessions in burns,
fractures, snake bites, wound
care and bleeds.
We visited several additional
schools in and around Siem
Reap during our time. During
this time we taught over 1 000
staff, students and community
members.
Thanks to the Australian Youth Council for their hard work and
organisation of this project. Thank you to all VFAS members
who supported me, it was truly appreciated. Everyone on the
trip thoroughly enjoyed the experience and skills in which we
gained. The trip was truly a worthwhile trip and I would recom-
mend it to anyone and everyone.

In the course of three weeks we
distributed over 350 toothbrushes
and toothpastes, books, beginners
English books, whiteboards, poster,
charts, flyers, sports equipment and
several water filtration systems for
the water pumps.
