During the September session of CALEB the Science Club, Granny's House kids and other Columbia youth learned the basics of CPR and first aid. The MU chapter of Student National Medical Association (SNMA) led the workshop. Although cardiopulmonary resuscitation might sound a little intimidating, the children learned it was as easy as airway, breathe, circulation.

CALEB the Science Club is an extracurricular academic program hosted by the University of Missouri-Columbia that involves students at all levels. Although there is a very important emphasis on the middle-school age, students at higher levels of education are actively involved. The older students help to nurture the younger ones, providing extremely valuable input while gaining invaluable mentoring experience themselves. Usually there are Medical and Premedical students in attendance. Their presence models what the younger students can achieve.
