And without them, none of us would be here.” ❤️ This family is alive today because smoke alarms alerted them of a late night fire in their #Iowa home.

  • Almost 6 months after Lombok was struck by multiple #earthquakes, some #students are going back to classes in rebuilt and repaired schools. Other classrooms remain damaged. @Palangmerah_indonesia teams continue to visit children to help them cope with their fears following the series of disasters. In addition to distributing school supplies, volunteers engage children in games and role playing to introduce hygiene education. For its part, the American Red Cross has contributed millions to the relief and recovery on the island, in addition to deploying disaster specialists. #Lombok, #Indonesia.
