Why did you join the Red Cross?              
I joined to be part of a team which has the welfare, safety and social interest of vulnerable persons at heart.  The Society has enabled me to gain not only lifesaving skills but to learn about and become an active player in the work of this humanitarian organization.

What is your best Red Cross experience?
The personal satisfaction of providing humanitarian service that makes a difference to vulnerable persons. Putting into practice skills learnt when I participated in a national simulation exercise based on a volcanic eruption.

What are your hopes for the future of Red Cross?
 The future of the Red Cross Society depends to a large extent on keeping the spirit of volunteerism alive and improving services through increased capacity building.
