WILLEMSTAD - The month of May is the collection month of the Red Cross Curaçao. The organization would like to thank the community for its trust and appeals to contribute to the reconstruction of the Krus Kora building in the Suffisant area.
May 8 was the International Day of the Red Cross. The volunteers of the organization provide day and night assistance in case of calamities such as hurricanes and earthquakes as well as during major events. At the start of the corona pandemic, the Red Cross, with the help of funds from the Netherlands, ensured that thousands of families received food and hygiene packages.
Two years ago, a major fire raged at the Red Cross. "The Red Cross building burned down and that was a heavy loss," the organization said. Weekly volunteers reported to the building for courses and training. The request to make a donation during the collection month is to contribute to the reconstruction of the building.
