The Lebanese Red Cross is not a governmental association and relies largely on volunteers with a limited number of paid staff. They provide relief to the victims of disasters, respond to emergencies, accidents and are always there when we need.
In return, the Lebanese Red Cross cannot keep serving us and providing medical assistance for free without our generosity and support. They depend on our donations and on new volunteers to keep saving lives and responding to emergencies.
Every year during May, the LRC organizes a fundraising campaign and this year, they are making it easier for people to donate online through their new [online portal].
The Lebanese Red Cross is one of the very few organizations I still trust in Lebanon. You can donate [here] or whenever you spot a Red Cross volunteer on the street, on the road, in a mall, in a restaurant etc …
Do they have to stand in the middle of the road ? endangering themselves and causing traffic…
ma betli2 fiyon…
If they had enough donations they wouldn’t but unfortunately standing in the middle of the road is the most effetive way to gather donations.
still does not make it right to stand in the middle of the road…
and i’m sure there are more effective ways to raise donations…
the lebanese red cross raises money through different activities such as collecting money from passing cars (something gringo up here does not appreciate), they do fundraising events (they used to do an event at sky bar once a year) and receive money from foreign countries as well (the lebanese are too busy trying to fill their pockets to the max).
have you noticed the valet guys standing in the middle of the street in mar mikhael every night (not going to mention how fluid the traffic is thx to those guys)? maybe you should give those guys money instead, they’re useful and contribute immensely to our society (free of charge of course)
two wrongs don’t make a right, Señor Dudino 🙂
I don’t get it, just because they are Red Cross they are exempt from making mistakes? It’s ok to ask questions every once in a while instead of just cruising in auto pilot.
and FYI I despise the valet guys standing in the middle of the street in mar mikhael every night
Peace amigo!
