【Scenes from last year】
"Red Cross Movement Month" is...?
May 1st is the founding anniversary of the Japanese Red Cross Society, and May 8th is the birthday of its founder Henry Dunant, 'World Red Cross Day'. Therefore, May is designated as 'Red Cross Movement Month' to introduce Red Cross activities to everyone and ask for cooperation in funding these activities.
Under the philosophy of "protecting human life, health, and dignity", the Red Cross operates in 191 countries and regions worldwide, conducting various activities such as responding to natural disasters and working in conflict zones.
