Sharing experience with Massachusetts Red Cross Chapter



During my vacation I had contacted Massachusetts Bay Red Cross Chapter with a desire to know about their activities and how the youth work on American Red Cross Society.

I was just thinking to visit them and learn but their request to hear my experience as a youth delegate encourage me to visit again and talk about it. I was very happy to share my experience with all the staff. It was a great time with them.

AKERSHUS RED CROSS YOUTH CONFERENCE 2009

I have been part of many conferences from last five years, from the day I had stepped to volunteer work but this was one of the best conferences which I had attended.
Most of the conferences are full to very long and useless speech but during this conference there was only one short and sweet speech which is one of the very good parts.
We had spent most of the time on training for the participants and had lots of ice breaker (games) so that participants don’t feel bored!

The conference contains basically two trainings for the participants: First Aid and communication skills development which was optional.

All the participants were happy to get training. We were altogether 23 youths on conference. We all enjoyed our time during the conference and learned lots of things which we have to apply on our country.
