A training session for the RNN consists of two days of training per church, usually with a group of 25-30 trainees fairly evenly split in terms of gender. While the training has thus far been based primarily out of churches (as these are generally large, clean buildings that can accommodate large numbers of people, and are already regarded as centres for the community) the training, however, is open to all members of the community. The communities are chosen based on the results of a survey the RNN conducted last November, where the RNN met with the local pastors, church and community leaders to assess interest in the project. These local figures were part of the initial group trained by the RNN, and they now form a network of connections that the RNN uses, and coordinate which areas the RNN visits. A sample outline of a typical training program is provided below.

Training Schedule
Day 1
‐ 8:30 - Registration
o    Each trainee receives a nametag and package
including a training manual1, notebook and pen
‐ 9:15 - Opening ceremony/worship
‐ 9:45 - Introductory lecture (by Jaya Thapa)
o    Trainees are set up in two rows facing one another; 
Jaya talks about the importance and basic principles
of First Aid
o    Introduces important concepts such as how to check 
a pulse and assess breathing - "ABC's" (Airway, 
Breathing, Circulation)
‐ Trainees are divided into 4 groups of roughly 6-8 people, each led by RNN trainers.
    These groups rotate through stations teaching different practical skills, hands-on (trainees
    get much more one-on-one attention by RNN trainers this way)
