A valuable and effective member of the National Service Reserve Corps (NSRC) who may serve as agent in attaining quality of life, sustain peace, unity, cooperation, and growth of the target communities.

WATER SURVIVAL SKILLS PURPOSE Treading water and the hanging float are very important skills for water survival. They can be used while waiting for help to arrive and as resting positions when swimming to safety. The hanging float should not be used in cold water. Floating on water is one of the most important things that a person needs to learn, it can save our lives in case the ship has sunk or has a very good prospect. Learning to swim is not just about learning the competitive strokes but about developing a range of skills in personal survival, water safety and basic rescue. ... Personal aquatic survival skills include: Sculling. Treading water. Learning to swim challenging yet very rewarding. It provides opportunities for recreational activities and a healthy lifestyle ,att also provides skills that may one day save a life. Learning to swim is nt just about learning the competitive stroke but about developing a range of skills in personal survival, water safety and basic rescue. In fact , the survival aspects so considered important. PROCESS Water Comfort The most basic and essential swimming skill is simply becoming comfortable in the water. Although humans are born with innate water skills, many people develop a fear of the water. When unintentional submersion occurs, panicking gets in the way of logical thinking and increases the likelihood of drowning. To become more comfortable in the water, spend time in a shallow pool or wading in the ocean. Never enter the water alone, especially if you are not a strong swimmer. Breath Control Breathing is often difficult for novice swimmers. With water all around, having some water enter the nose and mouth is a common occurrence. Some novice swimmers panic at the feeling of water in their noses, while others have trouble holding their breath while submerged. Learning to control your breathing is a key component in learning to swim. Breath control begins with simple exercises such as drawing a breath, submerging, blowing bubbles and then resurfacing for another breath. As your swimming skills improve, you will learn specific breathing techniques for different strokes. Work with a swimming coach or a friend or relative who is a strong swimmer. Floating Floating, or keeping your body in a horizontal position in the water, is a basic water skill. If you accidentally fall in the water, you may be able to float until you are rescued, even if you are not strong enough to swim to safety. Humans are naturally buoyant, and floating is not difficult. Like any

other skill, however, floating does require a bit of technique. Get lessons from a coach or a competent friend or relative. Kicking Kicking provides propulsion through the water. Once you are comfortable with floating, kicking is the logical next step. Kicking is also used in treading water, which is the process of remaining in one place while keeping your head above the water line. Many coaches use kickboards, or flat flotation devices made of foam or plastic, to support the swimmer’s body. A kickboard allows you to focus solely on your kicking technique without worrying about staying afloat. Strokes Strokes are the arm movements used to pull the body through the water. The front crawl, sidestroke, breast stroke, backstroke and butterfly are the five most common swimming strokes. Each stoke uses different body positioning, breathing techniques and arm movements. Training with a qualified swimming coach is the best way to learn the various strokes.

DIFFERENT WATER SURVIVAL SKILLS

Swim to Survive does not re- place traditional swimming lessons; rather it provides the essential self-rescue skills to enable a person to survive an unexpected fall into deep water. Swim to Survive focuses on achieving a single skill sequence (roll into deep water, tread water for one minute and swim 50 metres).

WATER ADVENTURE ACTIVITIES Purpose Water sports can range from high-adrenaline activities, such as windsurfing, kite surfing, waka ama and white water kayaking, to more leisurely activities such as sailing, sea kayaking and fishing – and everything in between. You need to give your child the chance to learn to swim. The most important reason is that swimming is the only sport which can save your child's life. ... Drowning is still one of the most common causes of accidental death in children, so being able to swim is an essential life-saving skill. Water activities can help a person to achieve the physical activity recommendations for New Zealanders. Water activities can

include some or all of the four types of activity important for wellbeing and overall quality of life – aerobic, balance, flexibility and strength. It is important to choose activities that cover some or all of the activity types, particularly as we get older. Process There is a lot of activities in water and I gathered some examples here that I get in internet.  Sailling Jibing or gybing is a sailing maneuver by which a sailingcraft turns its stern past the eye of the wind so that the apparent wind changes from one side to the other, allowing progress on the opposite tack. As with tacking, the type ofsailing rig dictates the procedures and constraints for jibing.

 Kite surfing In this stage you need to control the kite flying with two hands and with just one hand, which will help you when going into the water holding the kite and the board at the same time. Body dragging is the processof using the kite to propel you through the water in a desired direction without the use of a board.

 Scuba diving The dive certification process is quite simple. It involves classroom time, confined water dives, and open water dives. You'll learn a lot in a short amount of time, but be sure to really understand it all because knowledge makes diving enjoyable and safe.

CRAWL TRAVERSE  Purpose

RING ROPE  Purpose The morning camp activities have drawn to a close. Lunch has been prep'ed, cook, and consumed. Everyone starts to settle in around the campfire to relax. Suddenly, there is the "SNAP" of a twig...there's rustling in the woods. The peacefulness of camp has been broken. Wildlife is on the prowl.  Process A continuous, perfectly round, rope ring can be made by unwinding and rewinding individual strands of a rope without the need for a bulky knot or splice. Whether you use them to secure your Nalgene water bottle to your pack or slip them over your lantern's propane tanks to keep them from banging into each other: Rope Rings can be made on-site and are a nice addition to your camp gear portfolio.

RING ROPE TRAVERSE  Puropse A ropes course is a challenging outdoor personal development and team building activity which usually consists of high and/or low elements. Low elements take place on the ground or above the ground. High elements are usually constructed in trees or made of utility poles and require a belay for safety.  Process Thread the line so that its middle is centered through the anchor and both ends reach the ground. To safeguard against the deadly consequences of rappelling off the end of the ropes, tie a figure-eight knot in the end of each rope. These “stopper” knots will jam in your rappel device, stopping your rappel. Transverse process is a small bony projection off the right and left side of each vertebrae. The two transverse processes of eachvertebrae function as the site of attachment for muscles and ligaments of the spineas well as the point of articulation of the ribs (in the thoracic spine).

ACID RIVER  Purpose I use "Acid River" as an outdoor opening activity to warm up the group and as a foreshadowing of our work on The Five Practices. It also requires people to get into each other's personal space which helps open them up and begin to connect with each other more quickly. This activity can be used to stimulate insights around problem solving, strategy, challenging, collaboration, teamwork, communication, mutual support, encouragement, and celebration.  Process Gather everyone on one bank of the river and have them divide into teams of 4-8 people each. Give everyone a "stepping stone" — a manila folder. Tell them that the objective of the exercise is to get everyone in the group safely across the imaginary river without anyone falling in. they are individual teams but they are all part of one larger organization. Describe the rules of the activity (see below) and answer any of their questions. Teams have 5 minutes to brainstorm possible strategies for crossing the river. They may practice, if they choose, on the starting bank but not in the river (between the two rope/tape lines). Call time after 5 minutes of planning, bring the teams to the starting bank, remind them of their objective (to all step onto the opposite bank in unison), tell them they have 15 minutes to reach the other side and start them on their way.

TIRE RELAY  Purpose Relays and Other Fun Racing Games. The basic premise of any type of relay raceis that there are teams competing against each other. ... This can be done by tagging the team member or passing a baton or other object. A winner is determined by the team that has every member complete the relay first. The basic premise of any type of relay race is that there are teams competing against each other. Each team should consist of the same number of people. It is called a relay because each member of the team has a turn to complete a portion of the race before "relaying" the next portion to the next team member. This can be done by tagging the team member or passing a baton or other object. A winner is determined by the team that has every member complete the relay first.  Process A relay race is a track and field event in which athletes run a pre-set distance carrying a baton before passing it onto the next runner. Often, a relay team is a team of four sprinters. In athletics, the two standard relays are the 4x100 meterrelay and the 4x400 meter relay. Medley relay events are also occasionally held in track meets, usually consisting of teams of four runners running progressively longer distances. The distance medley relay consists of four legs run at distances of 1200, 400, 800, and 1,600 metres, in that order.

MICRO ENTREPRENEURSHIP  Purpose Those who startup microenterprises are usually referred to as entrepreneurs.Micro-loans are a way for organizations and entrepreneurs to make small loans to those in poverty often in third world countries. The term "micro-loans" is more commonly referred to as Microcredit. A microenterprise is a small business that employs a small number of employees. A microenterprise will usually operate with fewer than 10 people and is started with a small amount of capital. Most microenterprises specialize in providing goods or services for their local areas.  Process can be defined as the steps taken in order to establish a new enterprise. It is a step-by-step method, one has to follow to set up an enterprise. There are mainly five steps one needs to follow. These steps are − Preliminary steps. The entrepreneurial process is a set of stages and events that follow one another. These entrepreneurial process stages are: the idea or conception of the business, the event that triggers the operations, implementation and growth.

DIFFERENT MICRO ENTREPRENEURSHIP  Purpose Internationally, most microenterprises are family businesses employing one or two persons. Most microenterprise owners are primarily interested in earning a living to support themselves and their families. They only grow the business when something in their lives changes and they need to generate a larger income. This is a type of a small business that may we will bring in to the good sides of our future.  Process Not having enough capital is often the reason for not starting a business; after all, it takes money to make money. Why not start small and be a microentrepreneur? Some businesses might require a capital of P5,000 or less. It might just be that it takes a small business to start your big business. With hard work and lots of referrals, your micro-enterprise may become the start of something big. The most exciting part of microentrepreneurship—defined as “the selling or sharing of one’s personal commodities or skills”—today is that more online platforms are available for anyone who is looking for job independence, is frustrated with the 9-to-5 grind, is looking to earn more money on the side, or is simply looking to gain more professional experience. Websites like Fiverr (fiverr.com)—where anyone can offer a product or service for $5 (about P200) or more, and which bills itself as “the world’s largest marketplace for small services”—as well as Airbnb (vacation rentals), Taskrabbit (home services), Uber (car service), and Etsy (handmade goods), have exploded in the so-called “freelance economy.” Even new sites like Skillshare (education), LooseCubes (co-working), Getaround (cars), RelayRides (cars) and Vayable (tours and activities) are growing rapidly. “What defines this new economy is that it’s built on the empowerment of individuals and the technology that enables this,” says Jamie Wong, Vayable’s founder and CEO. “It’s allowing individuals to create their own jobs. It’s a celebration of life and time, and a shift in perspective of money. Technology now provides an opportunity for people anywhere in the world to monetize their passions.” Closer to home, Pinoy micro-‘treps have taken advantage of Sulit.com.ph and even Facebook and Twitter to peddle their goods to the world. If you still need hints for your own micro-enterprise, look at these examples: Make homemade snacks and finger foods: Items such as chocolate munchkins, chocolate crinkles, polvoron, empanada, and siomai don’t need a lot of doing.

Provide tutorial services: Savvy university students already know that English language learners are a steady market of tutees. Busy parents of elementary and high school students are also on the lookout for good tutors, especially in math and English, for their children.

DISHWASHING SOAP MAKING  Purpose Because the liquid is generally mild, it is frequently a better choice as an all-purpose cleaner than other harsher chemicals. Discover the multiple uses of thedishwashing liquid, which can lend so much more help around the house than you think. A gentledishwashing liquid makes an amazingly effective floor cleaner  Process 1 1/4 cups boiling water. 1/4 cup castile soap bar (grated, and tightly packed) 1 tablespoon washing soda (use a little more for a thicker soap. 1/4 cup liquid castile soap. 10-30 drops essential oil (optional; I use 20 drops orange and 10 drops tea tree)

F

POT PAINTING  Purpose Its purpose is often decorative though it can also be used to mask undesirable features in the clay to which it is applied.  Process is the process of forming vessels and other objects with clay and other ceramic materials, which are fired to give them a hard, durable form. Major types include earthenware, stoneware and porcelain. The place where such wares are made by a potter is also called a pottery

DISASTER MANAGEMENT LIFE SKILLS

 Purpose Whether natural or man-made, children are the most vulnerable when a disaster strikes. More than half of the people who are affected by disasters are children. It is our calling to protect the well-being of children affected by disasters. Disaster management aims to reduce, or avoid, the potential losses from hazards, assure prompt and appropriate assistance to victims of disaster, and achieve rapid and effective recovery.

 Process A disaster is any event, natural or man-caused, which creates an intense negative impact on people, goods and services, and/or the environment, and exceeds the affected community’s internal capability to respond, prompting the need to seek outside assistance.

CPR

 Purpose CPR is performed to restore and maintain breathing and circulation and to provide oxygen and blood flow to the heart, brain, and other vital organs. CPR can be performed by trained laypeople or healthcare professionals on infants, children, adolescents, and adults. CPR should be performed if an infant, child, or adolescent is unconscious and not breathing. Respiratory and cardiac arrest can be caused by allergic reactions, an ineffective heartbeat, asphyxiation, breathing passages that are blocked, chocking, drowning, drug reactions or overdoses, electric shock, exposure to cold, severe shock, or trauma. In newborns, the most common cause of CARDIOPULMONARY ARREST is respiratory failure caused by SUDDEN INFANT DEATH SYNDROME (SIDS), airway obstruction (usually from inhalation of a foreign body), sepsis, NEUROLOGIC disease, or drowning. Cardiac arrest in children over one year of age is most commonly caused by shock and/or respiratory failure resulting from an accident or injury.

 Process Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) consists of the use of chest compressions and artificial ventilation to maintain circulatory flow and oxygenation during cardiac arrest (see the images below). Although survival rates and neurologic outcomes are poor for patients with cardiac arrest, early appropriate resuscitation—involving early defibrillation—and appropriate implementation of post–cardiac arrest care lead to improved survival and neurologic outcomes.

BANDAGING

 Purpose

Other bandages are used without dressings, such as elastic bandages that are used to reduce swelling or provide support to a sprained ankle. Tight bandages can be used to slow blood flow to an extremity, such as when a leg or arm is bleeding heavily.

 Process First Aid: Bandaging    

Dress the wound. Put on gloves or use other protection to avoid contact with the victim's blood. ... Cover the bandage. Wrap roller gauze or cloth strips over the dressing and around the wound several times. ... Secure the bandage. Tie or tape the bandage in place. ... Check circulation.

TRANSFER VICTIMS

 Purpose Is a procedure moving a victim from a dangerous to safe place. The procedure of moving a victim from a safe place to a safer place is called Emergency transfer. 1. Ensure or maintenance of an open airway. 2. Control of severe bleeding. 3. Moving victim as one unit and in proper body position. 4. Methods of ERT should be safe, comfortable and fast. 5. Check victim's condition regularly before, during and after the ERT. 6. Immobilization of injured body parts before extrication and transfer 7. Taller first aider must stay at the head part of the victim.  Process

1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8.

With victim lying down, hook your elbows under. their armpits. Raise them to a standing position. Place your right leg between the victim's legs. Grab the victim's right hand with your left. Squat and wrap your right arm around the victim's. right knee. Stand and raise the victim's right thigh over you.

SHELTER BUILDING

 Purpose A shelter is a basic architectural structure or building that provides protection from the local environment. Having a place of shelter, of safety and of retreat, i.e. a home, is commonly considered a fundamental physiological human need, the foundation from which to develop higher human motivations.

 Process

First of all, location is key. Aside from the normal criteria which includes avoiding low spots, steering clear of standing dead trees, etc….proximity to materials can save a lot of time and energy. Take the time to find a spot that feels right. For construction, the first thing you'll need to build a survival shelter is a strong ridegepole that is at least a little taller than you are with your arm stretched above your head. You'll also need something for one end of the ridgepole to securely rest on—a stump, boulder, fork of a tree, some kind of prop. The other end rests on the ground. At the high end, the ridgepole should be at about hip height. Once your ridgepole is in place, you'll need ribbing. Lean the ribs against the ridgepole fairly close together leaving a door at the high end. Once ribs are in place, crawl inside feet first checking to see that you have a little room to move, but that it is still snug and cozy. If your survival shelter is too big, you will have trouble staying warm. Imagine you are making a sleeping bag out of natural materials! Next, add a layer of lattice, something to act as a net to hold debris in place when it is piled on next. Brush and twiggy branches may work well. The debris that you have available can help determine how small the spaces in your lattice can be. The structure is now in place and it is time for the essential component of insulation. Of all the things you'll learn about how

to build a survival shelter, not having enough insulation on a cold night will teach you quickly what is required. Get ready to shuffle your feet or make yourself a rake and start gathering debris! For good insulation, you'll want material that can trap air. Obviously, dry material is optimal. Pile on your leaves, ferns, grass, or other available debris. Keep piling, keep piling, go for TWO FEET THICK or more if you might get rained on. Be sure to close up the door area so that you have just enough room to squeeze in without disturbing the structure. Crawl in to see how your cocoon feels. Finish up your insulation by adding some small branches that will hold the debris in case of wind, maintaining as much loft as possible. Now that the outer layer is complete, it is time to stuff your primitive survival shelter with dry soft debris. If you only have wet leaves, use them anyway, you may get wet, but you can still be warm. Once your shelter is full of debris, wiggle in to compress a space for your body. Add more debris as needed, and don't forget the foot area! Fill up the spaces if you are concerned about being cold. Before you crawl in for the night in your primitive shelter, gather a pile of leaves near the door so that you can close yourself in most of the way.

RIVER CROSSING

 Purpose The purpose of any river crossing is to project combat power across a water obstacle to accomplish a mission. A river crossing is a unique operation. It requires specific procedures for success because the water obstacle prevents normal ground maneuver.

 Process minimize the river's impact on the commander's ability to maneuver. The force is vulnerable while crossing, as it must break its movement formations, concentrate at crossing points, and reform on the far shore before continuing to maneuver. The tactical commander cannot effectively fight his force while it is split by a river. He must reduce this vulnerability by decreasing his force's exposure time. The best method is to cross rivers in stride as a continuation of the tactical operation, whether in the offense or retrograde. Only as a last resort should the force pause to build up combat power or crossing means before crossing.

LIFTING

 Purrpose Weight training is a common type of strength training for developing the strength and size of skeletal muscles. It utilizes the force of gravity in the form of weighted bars, dumbbells or weight stacks in order to oppose the force generated by muscle through concentric or eccentric contraction

.

 Process Example of lifting Do a seated shoulder press. 1. Lift the dumbbells so that they are at shoulder height with your palms facing forward. 2. Push the dumbbells straight in the air. Your elbows should come close to locking but do not lock. 3. Hold the dumbbells in the air for a moment and then slowly lower them back to your shoulders.

HANGING BRIDGE

 Purpose A bridge is a structure built to span physical obstacles without closing the way underneath such as a body of water, valley, or road, for the purpose of providing passage over the obstacle, usually something that can be detrimental to cross otherwise

.

MULTITASKING TEAM CHALLENGE

 Purpose Multitasking entails juggling different work activities and shifting attention from one task to another . The danger in multitasking is that effectiveness can be compromised if the worker tries to carry out too many tasks at the same time

 Process  Plan Ahead Don’t wait until you are in the middle of the first task to decide what else you want to accomplish.  Don’t Lose Focus With multiple things demanding your attention at work, it’s easy to lose track of tasks. Deal with the pressure by prioritising.   Divide Your Time There are certain tasks which you should include among your core responsibilities.  Use Available Tools There are lots of tools and apps available to help you accomplish multiple tasks at the same time .  Manage Distractions at Work In the modern workplace, interruptions are aplenty. Avoid distractions like ringing phones and noisy colleagues to get multiple tasks done efficiently .

PIPE RELAY  Purpose  Challenge the group to see how fast they can get the marble through the obstacle course. Time the group, and ask them to "tender" for how fast they think they can really do it. Then give them another go. Requires debriefing.  For added problem solving under pressure, do not give the pipes and marble to the group during planning time.  Can be done indoors with a height factor involved. Explain that the marble is stuck to a point on the wall with blue tack and their job is to 'rescue' it and bring it down safely to a container on the floor. Use the gutters more like a ramp, and perhaps give one less gutter than the distance. Once they are set up, allow the marble to be released from the blue tack.  Process As facilitator, you can control how hard or easy to make this task. You can take them over obstacles, down stairs, around trees, etc. If, for example, the group is in the forming stage, put only one minor obstacle in the path and create opportunity for fairly instant experiential success of teamwork. If the team is functioning cohesively, make the obstacle course longer and harder and more physically challenging in order to deepen their experience of what they can achieve together.  Brief the participants on the start line and the finish point (a distinctive container is helpful), and give them any extra rules you may wish to add to the task, such as: every person must carry the marble at least once; participants need to take turns in a certain order; or both feet must remain on the floor at all times-get creative if you want to add challenge.  Give the group the pipes and the marble and 5 minutes planning time.  Allow the group several attempts if you have the time and they have the motivation, or keep it to one attempt and draw out the key points in the debrief.
