TechDada Initiative.

“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” – Eleanor Roosevelt.
The TechDada Initiative established by the Tunapanda Institute passionate ladies, to Accelerate Technologies as they bridge the digital divides into the society.
Back to the KGSA TechDada initiative taking good time teaching them what is open source libre office. Most of them is first time touching and learning more about computers.

We keep on encouraging them to shine on their bright future, We all unite together for the change in our cutting edge technology era.
We formed groups for facilitating their activities, by showing them the use of computers and how to create folders and files to store and retrieve data. They were so much happy to interacted with 21st century devices which they never thought they may that sooner be able to use them in the that location of the biggest slum in Kenya.
The activity has attracted many of other students outside while starting their games time, The session goes well and we completed it well and they are looking forward to learn more.

Funzo App users interview.

The day started like the usual days but the trainers are all optimistic about the Certell content offline distribution to the users in rural areas upcountry. We arrived safely to Beverly schools of Kenya near Aberdares ranges well known of being the one of Kenya water catchment areas. We set up our interviews that have to start 1 hour latter. Interviews in tech, UI and research groups kick off with users appreciating their efforts of contributing since from the planing stage till today learning stage.

Aberdares ranges being the source of Kenya long river Tana, that drains its waters to Indian ocean. Other species of flora and fauna are mostly found in the moorland where Bongo the rare antelopes are found, So it wasn't only the education mission for those are nature lovers like I we were so happy to encountered the following in the rich ecosystem on our way to the school we spotted the;

Tunapanda Institute First Aid workshop.

FIRST AID WORKSHOP.

Healthier environment and people health our key focus.

We took our positions ready to be trained how to handle emergency health issues that may occurs.

Doctor Micheal introduce us to ABC the term that means Airways, Breathing and Circulation.

Airways;

• Choking is caused by a blockage in the throat, which restricts airflow. For any choking person the first thing you need to check is the airways, whether is blocked or if someone is choking you need; 
• to perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) or back blows or both. Rapid first aid for choking can save a person's life.

Clear airways when choking;

• Most often, choking in adults is the result of getting food stuck in the windpipe. In children, choking commonly occurs when when toys, coins, or other small objects become lodged in the throat or windpipe.

Procedures to perform abdominal thrusts (Heimlich maneuver) on someone else:

• Stand behind the person. Wrap your arms around the waist. Tip the person forward slightly.
• Make a fist with one hand. Position it slightly above the person's navel.
• Grasp the fist with the other hand. Press hard into the abdomen with a quick, upward thrust as if trying to lift the person up.
• Perform a total of 5 abdominal thrusts, if needed. If the blockage still isn't dislodged, repeat the five-and-five cycle.

Clear the airway;

• Open the person's airway using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver. Put your palm on the person's forehead and gently tilt the head back. Then with the other hand, gently lift the chin forward to open the airway.
• Check for normal breathing, taking no more than five or 10 seconds. Look for chest motion, listen for normal breath sounds, and feel for the person's breath on your cheek and ear. Gasping is not considered to be normal breathing. If the person isn't breathing normally and you are trained in CPR, begin mouth-to-mouth breathing. Skip and continue chest compression. 15/1.

Breathing: Breathe for the person;

Rescue breathing can be mouth-to-mouth breathing or mouth-to-nose breathing if the mouth is seriously injured or can't be opened.

• With the airway open (using the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver), pinch the nostrils shut for mouth-to-mouth breathing and cover the person's mouth with yours, making a seal.
• Prepare to give two rescue breaths. Give the first rescue breath lasting one second and watch to see if the chest rises. If it does rise, give the second breath. If the chest doesn't rise, repeat the head-tilt, chin-lift maneuver and then give the second breath. Thirty chest compression followed by two rescue breaths is considered one cycle.
