08.10.2024: Goodness begins with everyone

As the volunteers of the National Red Crescent Society in Turkmenistan, we visited the Nursing home in Ashgabat on October 1st, to celebrate the Day of Elder People and having unforgettable moments all together on this special day! We prepared a small concert as a team, one thing that made me strongly proud was we were all ready to give our best while preparing. Main goal of everyone was the warm smile on our elders' faces we were going to see! I could see the bright shine on everyone's eyes while singing the old songs together and  showing the scenes from films they knew. Some volunteers read amazing poems with deep meanings for them. The celebration made everyone happy actually, not only the elders, but all of us!

The visit to Nursing home took a few hours, however the brilliant feelings we gained from it will last forever in hearts...

For my way of thinking, nothing can give a better sense of happiness as much as leaving a smile on someone's face. Spending time with them was a an honor to us. Even if I look for the beautiful, relaxing energy they gave me, I won't be able to find it.

As one of the volunteers there, I felt myself absolutely lucky for being part of this kind of great team which is trying to make this world a better place!

THE FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLES

– Humanity

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, born of a desire to bring assistance
without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavours, in its international and
national capacity, to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose
is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for the human being. It promotes mutual
understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all peoples.

– Impartiality

It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It
endeavors to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give
priority to the most urgent cases of distress.

– Neutrality

In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Movement may not take sides in hostilities or
engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature.

– Independence

The Movement is independent. The National Societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services
of their governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain
their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with the principles of the
Movement.

– Voluntary service

It is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain.

– Unity

There can be only one Red Cross or one Red Crescent Society in any one country. It must be open
to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory.

– Universality

The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, in which all Societies have equal status
and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other, is worldwide.
