15 years
Why did you join?
My brother was in the Red Cross, and it meant a lot to me when he was talking about his activities and friends in the organization.
What is your best Red Cross/Red Crescent experience?
We went to a nursing home and I spent the whole day with an old lady, I assisted her at lunch, and at the end of the day I was told that it was the first time she ate all her lunch, and that she ate this much because she had nice company. I felt
that I’d given someone hope, even if it was just for few hours.
