Bahrain Red Crescent Society (BRCS) members attended the International Volunteer Day, which was held recently at the headquarters of the Dubai Expo. The delegation of the Red Crescent Society in this event included Dr Kawthar Al Eid, Sawsan Al Aradi and Zakia Boukamal.

Present were representatives from various regional and international organisations, including the Arab League and the United Nations Volunteers Program.

The members of the Society worked to publicise the Bahrain Red Crescent’s and Bahrain’s honorable accomplishments in the field of volunteerism, as well as Bahrain’s advanced position in extending a helping hand to the needy in the context of relief and humanitarian work.

During this participation, the Society’s members focused on highlighting the contributions of the Bahraini volunteers in the national efforts to address the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and how these efforts contributed to enhancing the Bahraini success story in confronting the pandemic.

They showcased the efforts of the volunteers’ affiliates in many areas, including Bahrain International Airport, in addition to continuing to provide assistance for families in need, despite the challenges of the pandemic and in full compliance with the precautionary measures.
