Will you save me?

Saturday, 17^th September 2016 – The day was clear and bright. The perfect weather for an explorace. Before the activities started, the participants were provided a bit of breakfast. A short briefing was held and the participants were released to their explorace. The activities for the explorace were areas nearby or within Sakura College. The group were to receive a signed paper from the facilitators of the activities which they have completed. There were five groups with ten members each.

       Among the activities held was describing the participants’ response when given a question or confronted with a situation by way of a picture such as recognising the types of injury and their treatment. Other questions include how many types of burns and what items are present in a first aid kit.

       There is also an activity similar to a hidden object game where the members of a group are to search for ten pictures of items available in a first aid kit with only one member searching at a time. Once a member have found one, the picture is shown to the facilitators in charge of that particular activity. The group member was then replaced with another. Each group have a time limit of ten minutes to search.

        One of the activities is a demonstration by the facilitators of three types of injuries which are a wounded arm, a broken arm and a stabbed arm. After the demonstration, the group members have the opportunity to demonstrate the first aid that they were shown on each other. The facilitators also made the group members do an action of their preference such as singing.

       Another activity had the group divided into two with a member of the smaller group becoming the hostage of the other. The smaller groups were told to tie the hands and legs of their hostage. Once the hostages are tied, the smaller groups then moved to their members whom have been taken hostage and released them as quickly as they can.

          

        There was one other activity which was a crossword puzzle. That particular activity ended very swiftly. In fact, all activities were completed by all the groups far ahead of schedule. The organising committee were rather surprised. To paraphrase one of them, “The participants were very enthusiastic that all activities ended earlier than expected.”

        Prize-giving ceremony were conducted by the Vice President I of Sakura Student Representative Committee, Nor Atikah Bt Ahmad Sayuti. All were the groups received a prize with the top three spots went to Group 4, Group 3, Group 5 respectively and the fourth place going to Group 2 and the fifth to Group 1. A small gift of appreciation were given to the Vice President I for conducting the prize giving ceremony. A group photo was then held to commemorate the program.
