Nigerian Red Cross Society
... sure sign of hope
In a bid to continue the fight against COVID-19, volunteers in Adamawa state took advocacy to another level as they donated face masks and hand sanitizers to seven (7) media houses.
Presenting the items, the volunteers underscored the need to put them to proper use. They noted that quite a few people tend to wear the masks under their chins or even remove them. They explained how to wear the face mask correctly saying it must cover the nose as well as the chin.
The 2nd Saturday in the month of September, every year is World First Aid Day. Statistics show that globally in 2018, about 1.2 million people died as a result of injuries in road accidents. According to estimates by the British Red Cross, as many as 59 percent of these people could have been saved if they had received Basic First Aid on the spot.
After two days of intensive sessions that ended on the 9th of June, 2020, the induction of new employees of the Nigerian Red Cross Society came to an end in Abuja. The induction was full of presentations on security, strategy, administration, finance and human resources.
