Volunteers and annual training camp.
Twenty two young trainees, males and females, were participating in the annual camp held in Dar Mar Elias this summer, 2004.
The Rescue & Social Services Association Shweir (RSSA) has decided, from the very beginning, to train annually new young volunteers, during summer. This decision was planned to train our young on how to act, in helping self and others, at emergency cases.
The “Junior Achievement-Lebanon”, an International Organization with the aim of guiding the youth towards better behavior and advising them to choose their major, was there to help our volunteers too. The volunteers gained after the camp both certificates, one from the RSSA and the other from “Junior Achievement”.
Our Shweir Mayor, Dr. Nabil Ghosun with the RSSA president Mr. Elie Korban accompanied by Dar Mar Elias abbot, Father Antion Zghiab and “Junior Achievement” ladies and gentlemen; Mr. Imad Assi, Miss Carol Abou Mrad, Miss Dima Khoury and Mr. Katra submitted the certificates.
These young volunteers would add to the emergency services, whether for the sick, wounded etc. new “shabab blood” to replace or assist the other devoted ones. More volunteers can richen the service and give more power, to the system of helping others during emergency cases. The continuity, youthfulness and more force to the “Isaaf” association and services would be granted by the new generation of volunteers.
