May 8- World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day

 

World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day was founded in 1922, just after World War I. The purpose behind it was to advocate for the relief of humans suffering from diseases and a goal of seeing a world free from suffering. The day, 8th May is the birth anniversary of Henry Dunant, the founder of International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).

The Red Cross is like an angel who guards us and helps us to recover our sufferings, listen to our cries and do its best to solve them! A great salute to the Red cross volunteers for their hard work and sincerity towards the human welfare.
Have you worked with or have you ever got any help from the Red Cross Societies? If yes, then share your experiences and what are you planning to do something special on World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day this year.
