Here is a story about Henry Dunant.
Henry Dunant’s family always supported needy people. When Henry was a child he helped his parents to provide food for the poor people. Dunant went to Italy and was in Solferino to see the results of one of history’s most awful battles. The Battle of Solferino was on June 24, 1859. To tell people about his impressions Henry Dunant wrote a book, A Memory of Solferino. In 1863 in Geneva he met together with four other people to set up an organisation: The International Committee of the Red Cross. In 1864 people from 16 countries organised an International Conference to discuss Dunant’s ideas. In 1866, 22 countries joined the Red Cross. Now, the Red Cross society is in almost every country. About 250,000,000 volunteers all over the world help this organisation. The Red Cross helps people by providing food and medicine. Red Cross volunteers teach people to provide first aid and to care for sick and elderly people. People celebrate the Red Cross Day on May 8, Henry Dunant’s birthday. The British Red Cross Society started its work in 1870. British Red Cross has Junior and Youth Groups. There are more than 22,000 British Red Cross members in 1,700 Youth Groups.
