Volunteers from the Sierra Leone Red Cross Society (SLRCS) Kono branch are making strides in promoting community service and volunteerism among the youth through a series of school visits and a growing membership drive.
Their mission is to inspire students to get involved in humanitarian work, equipping them with the knowledge and skills to make a positive impact in their communities.
Recently, the volunteers visited Eastern Moral Academy, where they spoke to students about the importance of humanitarian efforts, community service, and learning first aid.
The interactive session aimed to raise awareness of the critical role that young people can play in supporting the Red Cross’s mission and contributing to a safer, more compassionate society.
In addition, the team held a special “Red Cross Hour” at Gbense High School, where students learned more about the various programs the Red Cross offers and the benefits of becoming active members. The assembly was a platform for the volunteers to highlight the value of volunteerism and encourage students to join the movement.
With each school visit, the SLRCS volunteers are building a strong sense of community and responsibility among the youth. Their passion for creating a better future resonates with students, motivating many to consider volunteering and making a difference in their local areas.
The membership drive is gaining momentum, as more students show interest in joining the Red Cross and contributing to its life-saving work.
The energy and dedication of the Kono branch volunteers are leaving a lasting impression, fostering a spirit of volunteerism and humanitarian action among the next generation.
