How long have you been involved in the Red Cross/Red
Crescent?
20 years
Why did you join?
I joined when I was nine years old. I liked the uniform,
and I was interested in the social programmes. I wanted training
in the programmes and to learn public speaking.
What is your best Red Cross/Red Crescent experience?
I have to say the first Bantaba Youth Camp. It was my initiative
to arrange this camp. The first time was in 2002, and it is
now an annual event. We had 500 people at the camp, and I
had to find a place for all of them to stay as well as provide
food for them – be their father and their mother in
a way. At the end of the day, I felt that I had made a difference
in someone’s life, that I had prepared someone to make
a difference in the life of someone else.
What are your hopes for our Federation of the future?
I hope for a better organization. I also dream about seeing
the youth taking the lead to free the world of human suffering!
