Our unit celebrates the World Red Cross Day today. Even though Mrs Lai was sick, she actually came to support the unit. I am still on medication - my third course of antibiotic so I know how it feels to be sick. Marianah also made an effort to come down to help out - a big Thank you to her too! I think it is her birthday yesterday and mine is tomorrow - will always remember that the world Red Cross Day is sandwiched in between our birthdays!
I must say that I am very proud of our Red Cross cadets and looking at the Senior members taking charge of the event, I can't help but think of the time when they were just recruits themselves. They have definitely grown much, not only in size but leadership strength.
Like what Mrs Lai has commented, our unit seems much younger this year, with more Sec 1 and 2s compared to last year when we had a lot more Sec 4s. I must say that the unit has done the school proud, clinching the two GOLDs for both the Community Service Award ( which we had done so for 3 years) and the Unit Excellent Award. The recruits have done us proud too, clinching the champion and 1st runner-up trophies for two categories in the World Red Cross Day Celebration Flag Design competition.
The cadets rehearsed yesterday for today's ceremony and I must say that I can see much efforts put in by them. The only disappointing news was that the dates for our unit annual training camp coincide with the Sec 1 swimming course and I have to excuse 5 of them from 8.30 a.m. to 11.30a.m which is going to be very disruptive!
