Mr. Santi Panchai, Director and Senior Professional Level Officer of Siharat Dechochai School, said that SiharatDechochai School is one of the many organizations situated adjacent to Khon Kaen University, and thus became one of the network organizations. Works have been coordinated under the name “Siharat Coffee Society Network”. The school has received assistance from Khon Kaen University in many aspects. This time was the training on how to help a choking person and to perform basic life-saving. Trainees were teachers, students and their parents, who also had a chance to practice in this workshop so that they could use the knowledge to help people in time of needs. The School Director then thanked KKU for organizing this workshop.
Mr. Chumporn Para, Director of the Communications Division, Khon Kaen University, mentioned in his opening address that Siharat Dechochai and Khon Kaen University have worked together under the “Siharat Coffee Society Network” for over 15 years. Khon Kaen University sees the importance of the member of this society, and the two institutions are determined to develop together.
The activity today was another intention of Khon KaenUniversity to help developing and enhancing good living among the people in the community, especially the school students who will be the power of the country in the future. So they were trained to use necessary skills for life-saving. The workshop today would promote and strengthen the network members by giving them new and useful knowledge for sustainable development. The Communications Division Director then thanked the team from the Northeast Queen Sirikit Heart Center, Faculty of Medicine for the training on “Assisting a choking person and performing basic life-saving”. This is a necessary skill for everyone. When an accident happens, there should be someone at the place who knows how to assist the patient. Therefore, school students who possess the skill for basic life-saving would be able to take care of themselves and grow to be a quality adult, who can take action during an emergency.
The Communications Division Director repeated that KhonKaen University has the major mission in preparing graduates through education, academic promotion and development of advanced professional skills. The University provides instruction, carries out research and development and transferstechnologies and academic services to the society and at the same time nurtures art and culture, all of which to promote and develop the living of the people, especially Khon Kaenand Isan people. This year is the 60th anniversary of the university, and there is the slogan: “60 years of creativity and development for society.”
