Eighteen-year-old Soe Moe Khin is a community volunteer supporting the Myanmar Red Cross Society in the small village of Myint Nar,\u00a0 up-river from Sittwe, Rakhine State. She\u00a0 helped organised Red Cross cash distributions and training as part of a programme assisting communities affected by flooding, violence and population movement.<\/p>\n
\u201cI became a volunteer because I want to be able to help people and in future I would like to work for the Red Cross full-time. The Red Cross help people when they are in trouble, and that\u2019s what I want to do. I want to be able to travel to different places around my community and help people.”<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve seen the Red Cross grants going to people to support livelihoods and I\u2019ve seen the training they have done with people, and I really like it. The cash grants have been useful, people say the support was good and that it helped them in their lives.”<\/p>\n
\u201cI would definitely recommend for other people to become community volunteers. I\u2019ve already told my friends that they should do it too. The Red Cross is helping the community and it\u2019s good fun, so I think everyone should do this.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
