RSS4 Year Old Hero Saves Mother’s Life
A 4 year old boy saved his mother’s life when she collapsed from heart issues she was suffering from. The boy dialed 0–0–0 (Australia’s 911), told the operator his name, address, and telephone number, and then conveyed the urgency of her situation.
What a hero!
“When he was about three, we taught him how to call triple-0 for the fire brigade, ambulance or police,” his proud mum said.
“When I collapsed from my heart condition he did exactly what he had been taught and said his whole name, his address, gave his telephone number and said: `My mum has a heart problem and she’s sick and she needs the doctors really quickly’.
“You can tell them what to do but, obviously, you don’t know what’s going to happen until the day … We thought he might panic or forget or cry but he didn’t do any of that.”
Ms Hartmann said Sasha also used his quick thinking to let the ambulance officers into the house after he couldn’t get the front door open.
“They couldn’t get through the front door because the lock was too high so he went through the garage and opened it with the remote to let them in because he knew he had to get them in some way,” she said.
“He’s definitely my hero.” via NEWS.com.au.
Aruba: Protest against the Choller Problem again … Why no Protests Ever for Natalee Holloway?
The Aruban protests against the Choller problem on their island continues. In all the Aruban travel brochures, web sites and ATA information we have yet to hear them talk about the “choller” problem and inform the unsuspecting tourist. If the “choller” problem warrants people protesting in the street one would think that the traveling tourist would need to know of the potential risk.
(What the protest should have looked like)
The protesters are not sure whether this protest will help, because the problem with the chollers is too big …
What is more problematic to Aruba is that these protests show that Arubans are willing to go out and protest against certain issues they deem important. Some how the issue of “chollers” is important enough to protest, yet the manner in how the Natalee Holloway disappearance was handled and its negative effects on Aruba’s image and economy and in turn Arubans was not. Chollers are an inconvenience? As compared to what, an economy that had declined in the past two years vs the rest of the Caribbean that saw increases? All resulting following Natalee’s disappearance and the manner in how the investigation was handled. An image by many that still exists today.
… this second one focused more on the inconvenience of the chollers. The protesters want the government to tackle this problem as soon as possible, by moving the relief center Dak riba Cabez elsewhere, away from the center of town.
The protesters are not sure whether this protest will help, because the problem with the chollers is too big, and it won’t go away by itself. But if nothing happens, the protesters will hit the street again.
