The International Committee of the Red Cross is an impartial, neutral and independent organization whose exclusively humanitarian mission is to protect the life’s and dignity of victims of war and internal violence, providing assistance. Each country has an independent organization of The Red Cross with a unique symbol and the same objective of helping those who suffer without discrimination, and promoting world peace.
In Costa Rica the Red Cross was born on 4 April, 1885 when Mr. Bernaldo Soto Alfaro, was the president of our country, however in 1917 as a result of the big bang many prisoners and soldiers were injuries, so from that moment the Red Cross was established Costa Rican. Currently the Red Cross has a prominent place to take care of emergencies and natural disasters, public health system, prevention of disaster and is a leader in Pre-hospital care and ambulance service.
The Red Cross is a completely independent organization so resources are getting by donations from private or public companies, helping of users and work undertaken by the organization, For this reason the budget is limited and it does not have modern equipment or enough instruments high tech or even necessary tools to go to save a life.
In addition, the Red Cross work significantly influences the quality of life for Costa Ricans, also the work of the Red Cross volunteers is wonderful and I appreciate they do, without expecting anything in return. I invite you to help with the activities of the Red Cross for example the Tico Bingo, it can help to develop this organization that gives a lot of without getting anything.
