As a volunteer with Northeast Alabama Red Cross, I continue to be aware of disaster and its consequence. The tornados of 2011, both in Joplin and in my southeast, left us all changed. Hearing of the restoration in Joplin and the joy of her graduates is heartwarming.

I agree with everyone’s kind encouragement of Jerrika and other young volunteers like her! It was a pleasure working with Jerrika, as she reinforced my pride in the commitment level and selflessness of so many young people today – despite what griping others may do! I hope you’re well Jerrika!

If you plan to have more blood drives, please try to support the local blood bank in the state you are visiting. American Red Cross may be great for disaster relief and emergency services but please do your research about their blood supply and FDA fines associated with blood collection.

Hi! I enjoyed your blog greatly and will repost! Putting a survival kit together, though important, is not nearly as exciting as preparing a bug out bag to survive a zombie apocalypse. And I agree – some zombies do love. In the runforyourlives race in Baltimore, I had a few dear zombies look out for me just when I needed it most. If they loved me, they must REALLY love you guys!!!

Thank you for this post, it is important to recognize and recruit all volunteers, including the youthful ones. Henry was an amazing man of compassion and a worthy role model.

We think it is so important for youth to learn about the history of the Red Cross in each country, along with the international sides. This allows us to bond with history and those who founded our humanitarian efforts worldwide. Thank you for continuing to emphasize history. It helps us with our K12 clubs because students need role models and are used to studying history.

Clara Barton and Florence Nightingale – 2 battlefield nurses, Henry Dunant are so important to our movements. We are in awe and we hope to be able to contribute with some vison of our own to help our networks in the USA and around the globe.

Thank you Sandy for this great article.
