LA Red Cross Chair Visit Mumbai

ANDREA DAVIS: Oh, what an amazing trip! I am totally re-energized and inspired by all the volunteers I met. I even had the opportunity to meet with leadership from the Mumbai Red Cross. Mumbai’s focus was on providing health services to the remote and under-served populations throughout the city. The biggest similarity was the spirit of all the Red Cross volunteers I got to meet. In Mumbai they showed me pictures of a recent campaign they had done for International Red Cross Day, which focused on providing medical services to over 70 homeless children. It was a day-long event where all the children received a free doctor’s check-up and access to other social services. The impact those volunteers made in each of these children’s lives was notable and really showed how the humanitarian spirit of the Red Cross can truly change lives. Now, I need to get myself back on the DAT roster to volunteer in L.A.!
