The simple fact is that if more people knew CPR more people could be saved in an emergency. Drownings, heart attacks and accidents can cause someone to stop breathing. Knowing what to do and when to do it saves lives. Living in Latin America means that you are far more responsible for your own welfare than back in the USA, Canada or the EU.
The American Heart Association offers a home based training solution called CPR Anytime for Family and Friends Personal Learning Program. It costs $29.95 plus tax and shipping. More information here:
