On December 25th, 2023 I had the honor of being a guest speaker at a women's club gathering (Sri Sakthi Sangam) in Pattiveeranpatti, Tamil Nadu, India, where I witnessed the remarkable spirit of an inspiring women's community. This marked my first opportunity to raise awareness about CPR and First Aid through Save a Life Initiative. The enthusiasm of the thriving women's community was truly inspiring, and I felt privileged to connect with them through my presentation. I was honored to be able to speak to many of these women and despite a language barrier, there was extraordinary engagement, with numerous questions reflecting their genuine interest in the subject. Finding creative ways to communicate, I was delighted to share knowledge that could impact their daily lives positively. The experience left a lasting impression, and I am eager to return and continue the dialogue with this community. I extend my heartfelt thanks to Sumathi Ayyamma, Ashvika Karthik, Ishana Sivaramsekar, Darshana Sekar, and others for their invaluable assistance in setting up, demonstrating, and organizing the event. It's moments like these that reaffirm community connection, especially for women, and I look forward to sharing more insights with them in the future.
