About
joining the Red Cross:
I joined the Red Cross in 1984 because my mother was in the
Red Cross and she was always making me do things for the Red
Cross. I decided to bring some friends along to make it less
boring, and in this way I started the first youth group of
the Belize Red Cross.
Expectations
for the Youth Commission:
Since the beginning of my first term in the Youth Commission,
my main objective and concern has been the position of youth
within the secretariat in Geneva, and one of my main goals
is still to strengthen the support for youth at this level.
I also hope to have more young people within the Movement
take part in statutory bodies such as the General Assembly,
the Governing Board and various groups. There should always
be young people in committees when decisions are made; this
should be constitutional! Furthermore, I hope to strengthen
the position of youth in the field, so that the potential
force of youth is recognized!
