A young girl who was drowning was saved with timely CPR. A carver in Nunavut was going door to door selling his carvings when he ended up saving a life.
Saving a life
According to Thomas Nibgoarsi, he was walking around the community of around 2,300 people when he saw a young girl waving her arms and begging for help.
At first, he thought it was not a big deal and started to walk away until another young girl informed him that her friend was drowning.
Nibgoarsi quickly rushed to the ice and saw that her hat and what seemed to be clothing and grabbed her. He was worried since nobody was around but he was taught how to perform CPR. As soon as he recalled, he started CPR.
The young girl is now in Winnipeg for medical treatment. Nibgoarsi was able to sell two carvings that day and he decided to keep one as a reminder of saving a young life.
