Bikes donated to provide first aid to communities in Senegal

Nicole Robicheau, Red Cross humanitarian worker from Montreal, Quebec, models one of the bikes donated to the Senegal Red Cross.

The Red Cross uses many different ways to provide assistance in countries around the world. In this case, bikes! In March, a ceremony took place to mark the donation of 50 bicycles and first aid kits from the Chinese Red Cross to its Senegalese counterpart.

Senegal Red Cross volunteers will put first aid kits in the bike baskets and pedal to communities needing assistance. This is just one of many examples of the collaboration that occurs between Red Cross and Red Crescent societies on a global scale.
