Title
The Cyprus Red Cross, Commemorative Issue
Description
Sixty four years ago the Red Cross was founded and today it is the largest humanitarian organization in Cyprus. In February 2012 it was admitted as the 188th member of the International Movement, and in recognition of this momentous event, Cyprus Post issued this 22c stamp.
The biggest project of the Cyprus Red Cross is the children’s Convalescent Home in Lemesos where children with serious disabilities are cared for. The organization is active in many spheres of the people’s daily lives, supporting and caring for the poor, the sick and the disabled who are provided with wheelchairs when necessary and free of charge.
The organization has undertaken projects in Sri Lanka such as the building of a hospital, the construction of a community clinic in Karatoula in the Peloponnese and the building of two ambulance centers in Gaza.
The Cyprus Red Cross never ceases to be caring, offering its services to all without discriminations, helping in times of crisis and always ready to give a hand in organizing First Aid lessons or blood donations.
