With your help, encouragement and prayers, the FBR medical team conducted a one-month medical training for the Shan FBR relief teams. This training focused on commonly encountered illnesses such as malaria, pneumonia, dehydration, diarrhea, and anemia. Additional topics included Basic Trauma Care. During this one month period, students also received training in the Good Life Club (GLC) program.

Following this one-month course, the students also finished relief mission preparation on 22 April, which included training in reporting, navigation, GPS, GLC, lifesaving and mountaineering as well as some additional medical training. The teams are now preparing for relief missions in Shan State.
In addition to providing humanitarian relief, the teams will continue to try to put a light on the situation in the Shan areas, where, despite negotiations and a preliminary ceasefire being signed, there have been several clashes between the Burma Army and the Shan State Army-South.
We thank all of you who continue to make this work possible, and for your stand with the people of Burma and the courageous young men and women who have committed their lives to serving those in need. We also want to thank the many guest instructors we had at the medical training and missions preparation training. Finally, thanks to CSW and PRAD for their support of the GLC program to the Shan people.
