Tandiwe Muramba
Tandiwe has 2 children of her own Natasha, 10, and Shingirai, 14. I’ve been doing volunteer work in Zimbabwe since 1992 when I first learnt first aid. Most of my work with the Red Cross is as a Nursing Assistant.

Why Tandiwe makes time to volunteer

Hortense
Dressed in her Cameroon Red Cross peer educator T-shirt, Hortense is an elegant 30-year-old woman. She attracts everyone’s attention at the start of the evening’s activities in the small room in Yaoundé.

Yvonne
Think you’re too busy to volunteer? Try telling that to full-time nursery nurse and mum of four Yvonne Davies, who is also an active Red Cross first aider.
