The Youth Group also offered free first aid training classes for local senior citizens groups and residents at the Kawaihae Transitional Shelter. The Weinberg Foundation presented the group with a cash contribution for its designated charity upon completion of the project. Nick Craig, instructor trainer at the American Red Cross, West Hawaii Branch, said the funds will be used to buy equipment to continue CPR education in West Hawaii. The Red Cross Youth Group and sophomore class at Hawaii Preparatory Academy and the American Red Cross West Hawaii Branch will present CPR Sunday on April 16 from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the school's Castle Gymnasium. Free CPR training sessions will begin on the hour.
Registration is recommended.
