Mass Exam

Fellow Red Crescent members of St Joseph, there will be a Mass Exam coming up at the end of this month! It will be held on the

28th June 2014 and 29th June 2014

Mass Exam is an activity where you can take the first step to improve your knowledge in First Aid, and at the end of the day, when you manage to pass the test, you'll be given basic first aid certificates and badge!

Those who failed in this exam last year, don't worry because you can try again this year!

In order to pass the test, your knowledge in First Aid will be tested theoretically and practically. It won't be hard as we are going to prepare you for the war! We will be inviting instructors specially from the Training Institute to train you all, but the date has yet to be confirmed.

So why not grab the chance? The next time you see someone hurt, you might be the one who need to provide help!

7 Principle of Red Cross

Humanity: The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, born of a desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavors, in its international and national capacity, to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for the human being. It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all peoples.

Impartiality: It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It endeavors to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress.

Neutrality: In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Movement may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature.

Independence: The Movement is independent. The National Societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services of their governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with the principles of the Movement.

Voluntary Service: It is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain.

Unity: There can be only one Red Cross or one Red Crescent Society in any one country. It must be open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory.

Universality: The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, in which all Societies have equal status and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other, is worldwide.
