Dimapur | May 8
The Dimapur district branch of the Indian Red Cross Society (IRCS) observed World Red Cross Day on May 8 with the students of the Visually Impaired School, Notun Basti (Ao Khel), Dimapur. Commemorating the occasion, a tube well for the school, the cost of which was funded by the IRCS, Dimapur was also inaugurated by the Deputy Commissioner, Kesonye Yhome, who attended as the chief guest.
According to the IRCS, Dimapur, it was part of the organisation’s charitable initiatives to assist the disadvantaged. The school has been running without an all-weather water source.
The DC, in his address, described the Red Cross as one organisation that strives to make the world a better place without expecting anything in return. Stating that there are many societies, which exist merely for hype, he said that the objective of the Red Cross is to work quietly behind the scenes without a need to show off. “To work for those who are in need of a human touch.”
While stating that the gesture of the IRCS Dimapur would give hope to the people of the school, he added, “We might not be able to help in a big way but in any capacity possible.”
