Trust Factor / First Aid Team Building Event

On Saturday, February 18, 2006 the India Team got together for some Team Building exercise and for learning some Basic First Aid.

We started out the morning with learning some CPR from Dave Cherrone. He brought "dummies" that we practiced on and learned how to help someone who might choke. Scott Crouch came and helped the team perform Trust Building exercises by having a contraption made up of wood and some yarn (wires). There were many areas, some big and some little, which at that point the team had to figure out how they were going to get the team members through without touching the wires. This proved to very fun, but very tricky. We learned we had to work together to accomplish this. If anyone touched the wires points were deducted from a starting total of 100. We did pretty good and ended with a score of 80 when all done.

Dave then went over some Basic First Aid and we learned how to wrap a cut with gauze and whatever might be around. We then learned from Scott how to pull a truck or a large object by usuing a rope, pullies and some special knots in the shape of a "Z" We went over this inside where it was nice and warm and then went outside and hooked the "Z" formation to Dave's truck. With the team effort and the help of the "Z" we pulled his truck several feet.

We all had a great time and learned more about each other and what can happen with team work with the Lord ultimately as our Team Leader!
