Introduction of World Red Cross Day
Helping people in their time always proves a good thing for humans, doesn't it? So to applaud this kind of act of humans who help the people in deprived time. To always remember this action, the day observed is called 8th May as World Red Cross Day. They acknowledge the belief in the red crescent movement and the international Red Cross. The people who require help could be because of natural calamities, shortage of food, lack of basics and epidemic, so this is dedicated to sufferers. Government or private companies organize the groups to support in every point, which are truly beautiful things of showing kindness towards something. An example of a recent epidemic of Covid-19 in the year 2020 is best to make in front. Full-time doctors were on duty. Nurses sacrificed to stay with their families. People were so into situations through which fewer people cured other people whose conditions were worse they lost to their families under sun soldiers were at border fighting for our lives and in countries, white soldiers were fighting to save lives. This kind of epidemic comes every five years, but this COVID-19 was not in hand. That's why we went through much in the year 2020. To generate peaceful and soulful lives, Red Cross members inspire us to take the initiative and encourage humans to get involved in every sort of humanitarian activity. They let us know about our sake of lives. They pre-prepare a survival kit in time of the disaster, tell us of principles and values, acknowledge how you take care of yourself in tough times and help others, and why and how you should contact us if the situation surrounds you. These are for non-profit, but charity is allowed, which all should pay for your ty.
History of World Red Cross Day
In 1859, Sr. Henry Dunant helped the wounded soldiers during the battle of Solferino, then persuaded the political team to take the initiative for war victims. He aimed at two main objectives: a treaty that would wound and care for the army soldier, obviously second hand, was to create the national society that would take responsibility for military medical services in the future. He wrote the book called "A Souvenir of Solferino" In which he wrote the whole idea of his campaign towards the Red Cross, which was published in 1862. Henry Dunant, in his hometown Geneva, the public welfare team took up his idea and instantly formed the working groups. After this, the first convention was made for national societies in nearby October. Consecutive years later, all agreed to the Geneva convention. Afterwards, it was made compulsory to take care of wounded soldiers in the military. By the end of the 19th century, the founder of the Red Cross, Henry Dunant - who started the full process - was living in Mountain Village after business failures. He actively engaged in the Red Cross after that incident. In 1901, he was the first person to receive a Nobel Prize with a French pacifist. He died in 191. By then, Europe, Africa, America, the Red Cross had been approved in every society.
