This project has been an annual highlight for both schools, according to the teachers involved, since it was instigated by Waiheke Rotary in 2012. Tess Parlane of Te Huruhi  School assured us that the pupils had been looking forward to Rotary’s visit and were incredibly excited and proud of their books.
Rotary AED project surges ahead
Posted on Aug 31, 2017
 
Rotary's Neil Harding (right) has been leading the charge to get AED devices installed all over Waiheke.
An AED or Automated External Defibrillator is a life saving device used to restart the heart after a sudden cardiac arrest. 
Around 40 people each week are treated for sudden cardiac arrest in New Zealand, and the chances of survival diminish by 10% for each minute it takes for help to arrive, so in the event of an emergency, it is important that an AED is close by and available 24/7.
Neil has arranged for big bright yellow lock boxes to be placed in prominent positions all over the island, and to ensure that the units are maintained - inspected, batteries charged and pads changed.
