Photo of the Day: Celebrating 50 years of the Senegalese Red Cross

Today’s photo comes from Maya Helwani, a Canadian Red Cross delegate working as the operations manager in Senegal for the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Society's Food Insecurity Emergency Appeal. The Canadian Red Cross has contributed close to $90,000 towards this appeal. Pictured above, on March 16, it was the Senegalese Red Cross Society’s 50^th anniversary. Female volunteers dressed Maya up in traditional clothing and there was a celebratory march. Maya is on a four month mission.
