It serves as a powerful representation of humanity, empathy, and cooperation in order to live a successful life during an emergency. Then there was the anniversary of Henry Dunant's birth, who was the former creator of both the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and the Red Cross. Ever since, May 8 has been set aside as a yearly celebration of World Red Cross Day. He explained to the volunteers the value of blood and blood donation.

People learnt the value of compassion, love, care, support, and therapy on this day, as well as how to apply these concepts to improve our lives on a daily basis. The participation of almost 60 volunteers contributed to the success of this programme.
