15ID SARU holds family bonding summer camporee

In lieu with the changing climate and the unpredictable weather of our country, safety preparedness should be everybody's concern. Especially now that the rainy season is coming up fast. 

In response to this, our friends from the Search and Rescue Unit, 15 Infantry Division Ready Reserve located at Fort Bonifacio, Taguig City conducted their annual family-centered camporee which aims to deliver and train junior responders in disaster preparedness planning and response program in a fun, age-specific approach last May 25-26, 2013.

Fun-filled activities surprised the junior responders who will not only be trained in basic first aid, CPR for kids, victim transfer, family emergency planning, but will also receive outdoor training on camp management, tent-pitching, rappelling, and knot tying. Provided these kids undergo military-based training, they will also need to perform reveille and morning exercises.

These days, training at least one responder at home can provide fast first-aid delivery in such circumstances when it is needed. Parents and their children should see the advantage of planning their emergency policy and basic equipment at home because these actions do save lives, even their neighbors.

Soldiers participate in Brigada Eskwela 2013, kicks off May 20

In the spirit of 'Bayanihan sa Paaralan', units of the Armed Forces of the Philippines will be joining in for the annual activity called Brigada Eskwela in the preparation for the schools' opening on June 3.

 Brigada Eskwela is a nationwide, long running, voluntary campaign held by the Department of Education since 2003. The activity aims to enjoin the entire community into the spirit of Bayanihan by bringing teachers, parents, soldiers, police officers, and other concerned sector together in doing clean up and repairs within the school setting.

 "Ngayon po ay simula ng Brigada Eskwela, nagpapasalamat po kami at naimbitahan muli upang makatulong sa kapwa naming Pilipino," [Today is the start of our Brigada Eskwela, I thank the organizers for inviting us so we could help again] says a reservist belonging to the Army Reserve Command.

 During the activity, our soldiers from both regular and reserve forces of the Armed Forces of the Philippines will help not only in cleaning and fixing school facilities. The versatility of our skill set can also offer in maintaining computer and electrical aspects of the school as well as the infrastructural repairs needed in order to promote safety among the students who will be using it in the next school opening.

 The Brigada Eskwela 2013 will kick off starting on May 20 and will end on the 25.
