My Project

Dear Potential Donors,

We are reaching out to you with an urgent need to enhance the safety and well-being of our students at Buist Academy.

As a responsible educational institution, we prioritize equipping our students with essential life-saving skills, and we are seeking your support to obtain CPR training materials.

The Need:

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a critical skill that can mean the difference between life and death in emergencies such as cardiac arrest. Unfortunately, many students and staff members lack access to proper CPR training due to the unavailability of resources. Additionally, an automated external defibrillator (AED) trainer is crucial for preparing individuals to effectively use this life-saving device in emergencies.

Our Proposal:

We are requesting your generous support to acquire CPR dummies and an AED trainer for our school. These materials will be used to conduct comprehensive CPR training sessions for students, teachers, and staff members, ensuring that our school community is prepared to respond effectively to cardiac emergencies.

The Impact:

By providing CPR training materials, you will empower our students and staff members with life-saving skills that can make a significant difference in emergency situations both within our school and in the broader community. Your contribution will directly contribute to a safer and more prepared learning environment for everyone at Buist Academy.
