I give blood the the American Red Cross every few months.  I'm type O- so they really need it!  I just wish they'd pay me instead of taking it for free.  They do a lot of good humanitarian work, so I don't mind.
I like the American Red Cross
The American Red Cross has been around since 1881!  It was established by a woman, Clara Barton, who was its first president.
Really, Is the American Red Cross Affiliated to the ICRC in Geneva?
I think they are, yes.  The whole Red Crescent movement has about 97 million volunteers worldwide.
That means it's really a very massive humanitarian relief organization 
They're all independent from each other but have common goals around the world.
Ok now I understand how they operate
Give blood if you have the ability to do it!  Very rewarding and can help people in serious need.
OK. I will try to donate some pints of blood
