Chandigarh, September 19, 2021: Rotaract Club Chandigarh Shivalik conducted an event "Aid with care" on 17th September 2021 on the occasion of "World First Aid Day" at Ashiana Children’s Home - an orphanage located in Panchkula. The children were educated about the basics of first aid by Dr. Amanpreet Kaur who is an Ayurvedic Medical Officer. First aid kits containing bandage, antiseptic liquid, Adhesive tape, Mask, Band aid, Paracetamol, Hand Sanitizer, Cotton and Eno sachets, were donated to the children.

It is of utmost importance for children to be aware of basic knowledge related to giving first aid considering how crucial the time is before major help arrives.
