BATSUB recently had the privilege of attending La Inmaculada School, Orange Walk. This was a great opportunity to meet the community, engage with children, parents, and staff.

We had the opportunity to discuss the role of BATSUB, teach a variety of first aid techniques, and show just some of the kit and equipment BATSUB personnel use.

We thank all those at La Inmaculada School for the opportunity, and look forward to engaging with the community again soon.
