I am a Red Cross volunteer at the Myanmar Red Cross Society Sinphyugyun town Red Cross sub branch. I joined Red Cross in 1994. I learnt to value people\u2019s lives more after becoming a Red Cross volunteer. I have committed myself to social and humanitarian works because I have empathy and understanding of people.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">In 2020, after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, our town\u2019s Red Cross branch was reorganized with a new generation of volunteers. Currently, as our usual work, we are carrying out COVID-19 prevention activities and blood donation activities, providing first aid treatment for victims of various accidents and sending accident victims and patients to the hospital in Red Cross ambulances.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">One memory that I helped someone<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">A few years ago, we sent a patient who got a neck injury from a fight to Sinphyugyun hospital with our Red Cross ambulance, and later to Magway public hospital. I encouraged him to remain conscious on the way although I was not very positive about his prospects. Three months later, I came across that man yelling out and selling things in the market. I couldn\u2019t help it, but my eyes were filled with tears of joy when I saw him again. He may not remember me and that I helped him that night.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">Anyway,<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">&#8221; I tell myself that we, Red Cross volunteers, are helping people not for the popularity or name and not to achieve position.\u201d<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">#WorldHumanitarianDay<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">\n<div class=\"l7ghb35v kjdc1dyq kmwttqpk gh25dzvf jikcssrz n3t5jt4f\">\n<div dir=\"auto\">I am U Thu Htet Aung.
