I would like to appreciate the wonderful First Aid training that Mr Bheko Hlengwa and Sis Irene Mampuru did for us. Thank you also for the First Aid kit. It will be of great use as we work with children at church. May the good Lord bless St John abundantly as you do the good work. We look forward to continuing working with you.

Thank you for the training I received during the 2-day QCTO accredited First Aid training course attended at St John's this week. The training was extensive and well-presented, and I enjoyed the opportunity for practical application of the theory. Your training was clear and easy to understand. I will highly recommend this training to others and I feel confident to apply what I have learned when called upon to act as a First Aid responder.
