different kinds making the need to learn survival life skills an essential. These are skills which even

Where are we likely to find these unexpected incidents that can challenge our children?
Incidents can be natural or manmade with turns and twists even in familiar territories like our
neighborhoods, schools, churches, shopping malls, walking paths, name it. We never know what is skirting out
there staring, ready to happen or ready to attack. It is said, hence the need to prepare!
