"We are the future, but above all the present..."
 
More than half of the volunteers of the RC/RC are youth. Here you can met a handful of young and involved young people, all participants of the International Youth Meeting in Tarragona, Spain, in September 2004.
 
  How long have you been involved in the Red Cross/Red Crescent?
1 ½ year
Why did you join?
When I finished my education at the university, I wanted to get a job but it was very hard. So I decided to volunteer to get more training and experience, and after a while I was offered a job.
What is your best Red Cross/Red Crescent experience?
I really enjoy doing the financial part of projects.
What are your hopes for our Federation of the future?
I hope to get a closer cooperation between the Federation and the National Society in my country.
