JUNIOR RED CROSS

The Junior Red Cross was established in 1922 in the hope of encouraging younger generations to cultivate their humanitarian spirit by understanding the Red Cross principles and ideas, and by participating actively in the Movement. The overarching idea behind the Junior Red Cross is to enable the country's youth, so that they may one day contribute, in their own way, to the establishment of world peace and the welfare of Mankind. The Red Cross Society aims to teach students the value of life and health, as well as the importance of respecting human dignity. The JRC Society has recently observed World Literacy Day and conducted activities on CPRCPR, Emergency Medical Service, Plantation and Sanitation.
