On May 8, Red Cross and Red Crescent International Movement launches its new project in Yerevan. “Our World – Your Step” is the title of the program aiming to raise public awareness and show people ways of helping each other.
The program envisages organization of several functions dedicated to the 150th anniversary of Red Cross and Solferino Battle, the 60th anniversary of Geneva Conventions and 90th anniversary of International Red Cross and Red Crescent Federation. The function participants will start with a march along central streets and reach the State Conservatory park to see the exhibition of photos featuring organization’s activities. There will also be a concert with the participation of young musicians.
Within program frameworks, the book entitled “Recollections of Solferino” (author: Henri Durant) was translated into Armenian.
“We bear collective responsibility for making our planet a better place. Each of us can invest his efforts in general welfare,” Chairman of Armenian IFRC office Soussana Haroutyunyan told an opening news conference today. History of an Idea, a film dedicated to the organization’s history, was screened during the event.
