10. Words of the President “There is no higher calling than when a person gives his or her own knowledge, skills, time or resources to someone in need of help or comfort. This is the fundamental principle of volunteerism. Volunteering is at the heart of community-building. It promotes trust and reciprocity. It encourages good citizenship and provides people with an environment where they can learn the responsibilities of community and civic involvement.” -Tadateru Konoe President of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies
