A great idea gleaned from a previous set of posts:
Conduct a Good Samaritan First Aid Workshop
Children learn how to take care of themselves and the friends should something happen to them. This could include medical first aid, knowing who to call, when to call 911, how to handle dangerous people or dangerous situations.
For local resources:
- Contact your local Red Cross.
- Contact your teachers/principles, as they often "know who" in the community comes in to teach these skills.
- Talk to any family physicians in your congregation or neighborhood.
Assemble First Aid Kits
- One for your family, another to give to visitors at your church.
- Check the church's first aid kit.
A Kit List:
• 20 Adhesive bandages, various sizes.
• 1 5" x 9" sterile dressing.
• 1 Roll - gauze bandage.
• 2 Triangular bandages.
• 2 3 x 3 sterile gauze pads.
• 2 4 x 4 sterile gauze pads.
• 1 Roll 3" cohesive bandage.
• 2 Germicidal hand wipes or waterless alcohol-based hand sanitizer.
• 6 Antiseptic wipes.
• 2 Pair large medical grade non-latex gloves.
• 1 roll of Adhesive tape, 2" width.
• 3-4 packets or 1 small tube of Anti-bacterial ointment

Create a Social Service Info Center in your church
- Have students create and decorate a "Good Samaritan Information Center" of local social services available in your community.
