We cannot operate effectively without some form of national coordination and sharing of information.
Those were the words of the President Jioji Konrote during the opening of the Fiji Red Cross National Council Meeting today.
Konrote says to operate in isolation will result in duplication of effort, and the key concern is that both government and the Red Cross could miss assisting those who are in genuine need of assistance.
He says the world is changing fast and Fiji Red Cross must evolve with these changes and ensure that it is in touch with new developments and must stay relevant in this changing world.
Konrote says given the history and work of the Red Cross movement, there is now a high public demand and expectation of the Fiji Red Cross, as they must always try to do more, do better and reach further.
More than 80 participants from 16 branches attended the Fiji Red Cross National Council Meeting today.
