Red Cross, The Strength Of Nations Red cross, the strength of a nation isn't just a mere phrase, but the real truth. I would like to enlighten you on some facts about Red Cross. What is Red Cross about? Red Cross is about helping the helpless and rendering first aider to a causality, luckily I'm a member of The Nigeria Red Cross society, Kwara state polytechnic detachment.
Image source https://images.app.goo.gl/wuQvMCwEwNc2CzxM6 The logo of the Red cross was gotten from the flag of Switzerland cause that's where the founder of the Red cross emerged from, that is, he was born there. The founder of red cross, sir Jean Henry Dunant, was on a journey to meet Napoleon111, then he encounter a lot of wounded people on a Field, and this was cause because these three countries had just fought a war on that field leaving many wounded, Italy, France and Austria. Sir jean henry Dunant has to let go of his journey to assist these wounded soldiers and even sort help for the neighboring town to help and this gave birth to the organization, **RED** **CROSS**
The Red Cross had to create a new logo because some countries said they can accept the cross, but this didn't stop the goodwill of the founder, there had to improvise and this gave birth to the new logo but with the same aim and objectives. We have 4 emblems in the Red Cross and these include The Red Cross The Red Crescent The Lion and Sun The Red Crystal Even with all these different emblems, 7 principles guide them all. **Humanity, Impartiality, Neutrality, Independence, Voluntary Service, Unity, Universality**. I will take my time to explain the 7 principles probably in another article. The Nigeria Red Cross.

Currently, I'm at a red cross training camp in the University Of Ilorin detachment.
Meet some of the wonderful people, in times of war, we are always there to help, you will see many volunteers going to a different countries just to help because we believe in humanity, we never wish for War, it's against our principles.
In conclusion I know some you must have heard about the red cross or must have seen the logo somewhere before, either on TV or in hospital. I would employ you all to have a skill on first aid, we are all over the world, you can go to any branch and equip yourself with the knowledge of first aid, there are still many more to learn, I can't just tell you all about it, but I will again. Just the Red cross today and safe a life tomorrow. Thanks for reading. God bless you all... Much love to you Article type: Red Cross Date: 26/02/2022 Author: FashTioluwa

The Red cross society is indeed a beautiful and friendly one. I'm glad your objectives go against bloodshed (war) but still it can't be helped. To all Red crossers out there trying to save wounded victims , I pray God will strengthen you all and give you wisdom to improvise if the need calls.
Amen, thanks for those prayer...much love
Are you being paid or it's a voluntary thing?
Its a voluntary thing sir
I appreciate red cross members for the sacrifice you have spent to helpless people. You have shown love to them in rendering your service.
Thank you so much. Much love from here

Wow, I truly didn't know these about the red Cross. You look good in your uniforms!!
Awww... I'm blushing, thank you ma
I learned about redncross during our training in school ite not a large scale but more on survival and also how to do lots of knotting and also how to apply first aid. Truly it's amazing to see how neutral red cross members are since they gonna help even if the enemy of the state.
Its not easy for red cross members so, we played a very significant role during the book haram crisis
I loved this organization so much.. I tried joining it during my secondary school days but I wasn't given the previledge because I didn't know anybody at the top
