David Hunt saves lives by teaching swimming in Cambodia

Drowning is the top cause of death for children in Cambodia over the age of 1, according to a recent report.

                              

This school year he introduced a lifeguard training program at the iCAN British International School in Phnom Penh, where he works. The 30 teenagers in his class learned how to rescue someone using a rope, administer first aid, and retrieve and resuscitate an unconscious victim. They also know what to do if a boat capsizes, and how to help without endangering themselves.
