World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day
The municipalities of Alcoutim and Tavira join the celebrations of World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, lighting their symbolic spaces in red, as a sign of tribute and commitment to humanitarian values.

This symbolic gesture represents recognition for all volunteers, collaborators and beneficiaries who, daily, give their lives to the Red Cross mission, bringing support, closeness and hope to those who need it most.

 

This year, under the motto “United in Humanity”, we are called to affirm, even more clearly, what distinguishes us: the ability to remain close, even when the world moves away; of listening to those who so often remain invisible; and to act where the presence of the Red Cross truly makes a difference. 

 

The red lighting of these municipalities is, therefore, more than a symbol, it is an expression of memory, recognition and commitment to humanitarian values.

 

Grateful to the Municipalities that joined World Red Cross Day.

 

Well Hajam!
