Festival 2014

The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) is the world's largest humanitarian organization, providing assistance without discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions.  Founded in 1919, the IFRC comprises 186 member Red Cross and Red Crescent National Societies, a secretariat in Geneva and more than 60 delegations strategically located to support activities around the world. There are more societies in formation. The Red Crescent isused in place of the Red Cross in many Islamic countries. The IFRC vision: To inspire, encourage, facilitate and promote at all times all forms of humanitarian activities by National Societies, with a view to preventing and alleviating human suffering, and there by contributing to the maintenance and promotion of human dignity and peace in the world. The Red Cross Ambulance Service in the Province of Valencia is to be the beneficiary of the Festival 2014 Appeal. A paramedic Ambulance has a service life of approximately four years and costs in the region of €55,000 to equip. It is our objective to supply four of these ambulances for service in Valencia, Javea, Alicante and Quesada, thereby contributing to the effectiveness of the Society and its humanitarian objectives throughout those areas. You are invited to join in this mission, which is in essence one of the fundamental priorities of all Masons in the World, Charity!
