Be a Lifesaver: Learn Hands-only CPR

On Saturday, January 17, 2015, WCFR will train volunteers in the Rockland community hands-only CPR.

Worldwide Community First Responder, Inc., in collaboration with the Town of Ramapo, will participate in the 2015 MLK Day of Service by providing hands-only CPR training to the Rockland community.

Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don’t have to have a college degree to serve. You don’t have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love- Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

The MLK Day of Service provides each of us with an opportunity to join neighbors and local leaders to tackle community challenges and strengthen the nation. The purpose of this project is to train volunteers in the Rockland community hands-only CPR and motivate community members to act in an emergency.

“Nobody should die because they needed first aid and didn’t get it.”
