As a parent I believe that from an early age children should be trained and taught basic knowledge about first aid, since the immediate medical attention to any accident or injury is of vital importance, which is why about 4 months ago began in my land Carora the first Youth Children's Brigade, Aimed at children from 7 to 16 years of age, this brigade is in charge of one of the most recognized polytechnic universities in the region as it is the National Experimental Polytechnic University Antonio José de Sucre UNEXPO, together with the fire department of the city; When I found out about this project I immediately went to the facilities to enroll my oldest son Matthias Andres.
Ya hacen aproximadamente 3 meses que esta asistiendo a sus clases, todos los sábados en horario de 8am a 12 m, en esta brigada imparten disciplina, responsabilidad, respeto y refuerzan los valores a todos brigadistas, por medio de la practica de orden cerrado, así como también les enseñan una serie de procederes como futuros bomberos voluntarios, entre las actividades que han aprendido están vendajes, inmovilizaciones, toma de signos vitales, recibiendo clases teóricas y practicas; Matthias es un niño muy curioso y aprende muy rápido, cada sábado llega a casa haciendo muchas preguntas, comentando sobre lo aprendido, practica conmigo, yo le voy corrigiendo y reforzando las técnicas aprendidas en clases.
He has been attending his classes for about 3 months now, every Saturday from 8 am to 12 m, in this brigade they impart discipline, responsibility, respect and reinforce the values to all brigade members, through the practice of closed order, as well as teaching them a series of procedures as future volunteer firefighters, among the activities they have learned are bandages, immobilizations, taking vital signs, receiving theoretical and practical classes; Matthias is a very curious child and learns very fast, every Saturday he comes home asking many questions, commenting on what he has learned, he practices with me, I correct him and reinforce the techniques learned in class.
Ayer en horas de la tarde me sentí muy orgulloso de mi hijo, yo estaba preparando una limonada, en un momento me distraje y cortando un limón me corte el dedo índice de la mano derecha; mi sorpresa fue cuando Matthias apenas vio mi dedo me dijo, “tranquilo que yo te voy a curar esa herida, yo aprendí a atender heridos en mi curso de bomberos”, salió corriendo a preguntar a mi esposa donde estaba la gasa y el adhesivo para curar mi herida, mi esposa le busco lo que pedía, nosotros estábamos sorprendidos, ya que me sentó y me pidió que estuviera tranquilo que estaba en buenas manos jajajaja.
Yesterday afternoon I felt very proud of my son, I was preparing a lemonade, at one point I got distracted and while cutting a lemon I cut the index finger of my right hand; My surprise was when Matthias as soon as he saw my finger he told me, "don't worry, I am going to heal that wound, I learned how to take care of the wounded in my firefighter course", he ran to ask my wife where was the gauze and the adhesive to heal my wound, my wife looked for what he asked for, we were surprised, since he sat me down and asked me to be calm that I was in good hands hahahaha.
No sintió miedo a la sangre en ningún momento, me limpio con un poco de gasa y luego paso otra gasa alrededor de la herida, la cubrió con un poco de adhesivo, en esta parte lo ayude ya que no podía cortarlo bien; pero me sentí gratamente sorprendido por la reacción y el temple con que mi hijo me ayudo, allí vi que ha aprendido mucho en este curso tan importante, la carrera de bomberos es muy bonita y aunque el quiere ser Ingeniero cuando sea grande, el ser bombero voluntario es una excelente profesión extra curricular que le puede ayudar a salvar una vida en cualquier momento.
He was not afraid of blood at any time, he cleaned me with a little gauze and then passed another gauze around the wound, he covered it with a little adhesive, in this part I helped him because he could not cut it well; but I was pleasantly surprised by the reaction and the temper with which my son helped me, there I saw that he has learned a lot in this important course, the firefighter career is very nice and although he wants to be an engineer when he grows up, being a volunteer firefighter is an excellent extra curricular profession that can help him to save a life at any time.
Es importante tener a los hijos en actividades de cualquier tipo, donde aprenden, se mantienen ocupados, sin ocios, hacen nuevos amigos, y ponen en practica sus conocimientos; para mi hijo la que mas le ha gustado es esta brigada, aunque está muy pequeño, apenas tiene 8 años, su reacción ante esta pequeña eventualidad demuestra su amor por ayudar, estoy seguro que mas adelante aprenderá muchas cosas como bombero y podrá ayudar a muchas personas.
It is important to have children in activities of any kind, where they learn, stay busy, without idleness, make new friends, and put into practice their knowledge; for my son the one he has liked the most is this brigade, although he is very young, he is only 8 years old, his reaction to this small eventuality shows his love for helping, I am sure that later he will learn many things as a firefighter and will be able to help many people.
Agradecido a todos por leerme, si tienes un hijo pequeño motívelos y apóyelo para hacer cualquier actividad que le guste, que los aleje un poco de las cosas tecnológicas, de los malos vicios, que toque un instrumento musical, que baile, que cante, que haga deporte y que sea feliz. Por ahora se despide su amigo el Drhueso, hasta una nueva oportunidad.
Thank you all for reading me, if you have a small child motivate them and support them to do any activity that they like, that takes them away from technological things, bad vices, play a musical instrument, dance, sing, play sports and be happy. For now your friend Drhueso says goodbye, until a new opportunity.
