On a day-to-day basis, volunteers are responding to emergencies or working quietly around the globe, engaging communities in the very spirit of togetherness. Volunteers are often themselves the victims of the very same crises they are responding to, putting their own suffering aside to help others. Time and time again, it’s the volunteers who roll up their sleeves, wrap a reassuring arm over the shoulder of a distressed neighbour and put their hearts into making things better.
Thanks to our many volunteers, the Red Cross Movement has become the largest humanitarian network in the world. We should all be proud of this accomplishment, as nearly every community around the globe have local volunteers supporting people in need.
