@GambiaRedCross relies heavily on it's volunteers. The work is demanding, exhausting. It takes a toll on them but everytime they're out in the field, they deliver without hesitation.
They happily give back to their communities.

The @GambiaRedCross monitoring the 2021 #PresidentialElections from it's Emergency Operations Center.
The #GRCS has deployed almost 1000 Volunteers at all polling centers across the country to provide hand sanitizers as we aim at a COVID free election.
Behind the numbers are human beings with dignity.
Our boss @SenghoreAl calls on all Gambians as we launch #Gambia4Gambians; putting affected people back to their houses.
You can provide assistance in cash or kind (Nails, Cement, Corrugate iron sheet) or offer services/skills.
Reminder that Covid is still within us !
As the cases rise again, lets continue to practice the precautionary measures.
#Gambia is severely hit by the recent #winsdstorm and having to deal with high number of #COVID19 cases will be too devastating.

However, we’re #LeavingNoOneBehind, every school will be fumigated.
Food should not be a luxury.
Water should not be a luxury.
Shelter should not be a luxury.
School should not be a luxury.
Health care should not be a luxury.
Safety should not be a luxury.
But in Yemen, these are all too rare.
