NRT - Neonatal Resuscitation Training
Last week we were involved in our first major humanitarian project and it was amazing! 10% of newborns die (or are left handicapped) because they do not start breathing right away. The Church's goal is to train as many doctors as possible on life saving techniques to save these babies and then give the doctors the equipment needed to do it! There are short-term specialists who help the senior couples set up and conduct these training sessions. We were not in on the planning , but here are some pictures from the event.


On the day before the training began, we went to the university to check out the facility. We were pleased to find a big, beautiful room - perfect! Elder Reese & Southwick are setting up the equipment to be used during the training.


There were 6 tables with the baby & supplies to be used for the practical training.


Here is the lead Doctor giving last minute training tips to the other 5 doctors who will be teaching.

Opening ceremonies brought 3 important local officials.
