New CHRISC Film: First Aid Course in Mwanza

First Aid Course in Mwanza

 

Testing the RICE method

Some of CHRISC volunteers  in Mwanza were invited to a First Aid Workshop for two days. It happened the 9th and the 10th of november, and 15 CHRISC volunteers attended the Course.


The Act Now students, Mangi and Masawe, came from Arusha to teach about different First Aid technics.
Some topics were life saving first aid and the RICE method. RICE stands for Rest, Ice, Compression and Elevation, and is a good way to treat strains, sprains and dislocations.

The aim of the First Aid Course was to provide the participants knowledge about First Aid so they can help other people in the society. Also some of the participants will teach other volunteers about First Aid.  

Life saving first aid

After the course, the mediateam asked one of the participants, Anna Matiase, about the first aid course.

Anna is 18 years old and has been in CHRISC for one year where she plays football.

Can you say something you learned in the first aid seminar?
"I learned how to help a person who is unconscious and the meaning of first aid. Also now, I know what to do if someone gets hurt"

What has CHRISC done to your life?
"CHRISC has helped me in many ways. I have learned to know things I didn't know before and I have got to know new people. Also CHRISC has helped me to increase my knowledge about life."

How will you use the knowledge you get from CHRISC?
"I will teach new people how to use First Aid and teach them about HIV. And I can help football players if they get hurts"

CHRISC Mwanza: Girls can also play Football!

 

In Mwanza there was a football match for girls in CHRISC, between Pasiansi and Kilumba. The match was played this saturday, the 10th of November. The girls played football at a high level and showed that there are not only boys who can play.

Kilumba scored an early goal, and the match ended 1-0.



Here is the winning team!

After the match CHRISC talked to one player of each team.

She has participated in CHRISC activites for the last three years.
We asked here of her opinion of the game.
"The game was good. Even if we had some challenges, and the match was tough, we won 1-0."
She also adds that boys think that girls can't play football.
"But I play football anyway!"
What has CHRISC taught you?
"They have taught me how to avoid bad groups of people. I also have learned about life skills, drug abuse and HIV."



Wisala Julius is 19 years old and come from Pasiansi zone.
She has been a partof CHRISC for 1 year, and now she is playing football for CHRISC Pasiansi girl team. "The match was very difficult because they scored an early goal, and we didn´t manage to play so good. Even though, it was very nice to play."
We asked her what challenges she meets when she as a girl plays football.
"A lot of people, especially boys don´t like that we are playing football. They think we can´t play, and also we have much less equipment than the boys."

What has CHRISC taught you?
CHRISC has taught me to love God, and also to increase me talent through training and seminars. I have also learned about First-Aid.

CHRISC Youth League: Suye zone

The start of CHRISC over age league

              The start of CHRISC over age league

CHRISC over age league started the 24^th October . The match was played at one of the best fields in Arusha which is Suye. It was between CHRISC Suye and Kaloleni, and started 4.30 pm. The match was very exciting and had a lot of action. Almost 100 people came to watch this fantastic game.


Both of the teams played good, and it was fair play. However Kaloleni won the 
match 2-0. The first goal was a penalty, and the second was a well played goal.

Why CHRISC over age league?
The league was made to create a fellowship between CHRISC volunteers, and to make people more aware of CHRISC and their activities.

After the match, CHRISC media team interviewed the CHRISC Suye
captain, Joram Ernest

Joram, how was the game?
The game was great. We tried to win, but we lost
Do you think your team still can win the league?
Yes, I think we can win the league. But in our team winning is not the most important, just to have fun and learn from each other.  

What do you think of CHRISC overage league?
It’s a good idea to start this league. Because it gathers many members of CHRISC together, and lets people have fun. Also it brings people together so we can create a fellowship with people outside our zone.

Do you have something you want to say in the end?
Yes, football is for fun and not just a competition, so even if we lost we had fun.

Do you want to have fun?

CHRISC is the answer!

In Arusha people are going to have fun, learn and be inspired in CHRISC Over Age League. This league will start the 24^th October and end in December. The matches will be played at Suye and Soweto field.

CHRISC is a good place to be for everybody to get new knowledge, share ideas and create friendship.

We use this opportunity to invite everyone to be a part of CHRISC to use your talent to empower society.
