TCIRC marks the founding of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement

The TCI Red Cross will commemorate the founding of the global Red Cross and Red Crescent, while simultaneously raising funds for their various programmes in areas such as Disaster Management and First Aid.

At the Rotary Caribbean District Conference (May 9-13), First Aid manuals and books, emergency radios, and TCIRC-produced cookbooks will be on sale.  A First Aid course targeting some 20 heads of government departments will be hosted on South Caicos. 

As guests on a popular radio talk show, TCIRC executive members will also take the opportunity to address the upcoming hurricane season.
