Ernese Sarita Muschamp

My name is Ernese Muschamp and I am a 47 year old mother and grandmother.

I have been a volunteer for the past 13 years in the Belize District 1st Aid Brigade of the Belize Red Cross. 

Presently I am holding two positions with the Society. One is as a Food Vendor in the Belize Red Cross Snack Shop. For this I receive wages. I also hold the volunteer post of Assistant Brigade Commandant.  

I joined the Red Cross in order to meet people and to broaden my view on how to help people in our community. I have had many positive experiences, especially in the field work, giving assistance with First Aid to the elderly and children in shelters during hurricanes.

My hope for the future is for us to reach out and get more volunteers, for us to continue living by our seven fundamental principles and that the Belize Red Cross will continue to shine in Belize.
