Every year in the US over 320,000 people (of all ages) die from Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) outside of hospitals. While Fire and EMS departments do a great job trying to save these people time is not on their side. Severe brain damage occurs withing 4-6 minutes and brain death by 10 minutes.
On scene bystanders are the best chance for these victims. Prompt CPR and early use of an AED will dramatically increase the victims chance of survival. This presentation is a brief overview on how to use an Automated External Defibrillator (AED). This presentation should not take away from that fact that all people need to attend a formal CPR and AED course.

The desire to address the critical need for water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in schools is gaining momentum worldwide. The lack of clean drinking water, toilet facilities for girls and boys and good hygiene practices in schools has a negative impact on the health and cognitive abilities of the entire school population, leads to absenteeism and affects girls especially hard.
This webinar highlights HIP's experience fostering a supportive environment and models for WASH-Friendly Schools in Madagascar and Ethiopia and materials developed to help schools become WASH-friendly.
Presentation by Sarah Fry, USAID-HIP Senior Hygiene Programming Advisor, followed by a Q&A with Sarah and Julia Rosenbaum, USAID-HIP Deputy Director. Moderated by Patricia Mantey, USAID-HIP Knowledge Management Specialist.
