After learning how to take vitals, many of the Promotoras volunteered to help with the free consultations being offered in the communities. Â The woman on the left with the stethoscope, is being guided by one of our UVM brigade members. Â She won’t be graduating till late on Friday, but already she has mastered CPR, injections and IV setups. Â Today, she’ll be learning how to use her glucometer, first aid for cuts, burns and other injuries. Â Usually, we train around 25 Promotoras, of whom 20 are chosen by their neighbors, the rest are volunteers who just want to learn and help. Â This time we have over 60!
