Hello friends,
We all know nowadays how much blood is important. So many blood banks are there to provide the blood to the needy people. But, sometimes because of the less awareness of blood donation blood banks also required blood. To solve all such problems related to blood, one society is working hard. They are making people aware of blood donation. In the pendamic situation also they are ready to help. Let's see which is this institute and how it is established...
To celebrate the birth anniversary of the founder of 'International Committee of the Red Cross(ICRC)' Jean Henry Dunant, The World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day is celebrated. He was born on 8th May 1828. He was the first person to get Nobel Prize for Peace.

Every year World Red Cross and Red Crescent society celebrates this day on 8th May.
It's idea came after World War I. The idea for an annual action that could take hold in the whole world...that would be a major contribution to peace. This initiative is known as the 'Red Cross Truce'. This truce was studied by an International Commission established at the 14th International Conference of the Red Cross.
The 15th International Conference of the Red Cross in Tokyo in 1934. The proposal kept above was approved here. But this report was studied by the League of Red Cross Societies after World War II, in 1946. They renamed it International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies in 1991.
The first Red Cross Day was celebrated on 8th May, 1948. In 1984 it's official title was decided as 'World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day'.
Every year this day is celebrated with different themes. It's theme for this year is 'UNSTOPPABLE'.
