The 19th of August is a very significant day in our calendar where we remember and celebrate the work of Humanitarians around the world.
This year’s theme is The Human Race and is aimed to highlight the issues related to the global climate change emergency and highlights the immediate consequences of the climate emergency of the world’s most vulnerable people and raise awareness for their wellbeing.
Mr. Jimmy Peter, Chairman of the PNGRCS NCD & Central branch said, “We are absolutely delighted to celebrate the day by giving back to the community.
PNG RCS is a humanitarian organization that has been serving vulnerable communities in PNG for almost 46 years and it was good to commemorate and remember the hard work and sacrifices made by the Volunteers and staff from the past and present.”
Also present on that day were 48 volunteers who came very early in the morning to do clean up and visit Cheshire Disability Services. Jaison Kaut, a volunteer said, “Volunteerism is probably the greatest act a person can do to give something back to the humanity and to make the world a better place.”
He acknowledged PNG RCS for organizing the event so they can participate.
Peter added that PNG RCS relies on the commitment of the volunteers and it was a great to see our youths and young volunteers spare at least a day to do good will and to be involved in community work.
PNG Red Cross Society extends our gratitude to our movement partners the IFRC, ARC and the ICR.
Special thanks to NCDC for providing us with garbage bags and also supporting the event and acknowledge the support from our faithful volunteers.
