Nagaland governor calls for celebrating spirit of humanity

DIMAPUR: Nagaland governor La Ganesan called upon the people of the state to celebrate the spirit of humanity and commitment to serve others on the 195th World Red Cross Day.
He was speaking at a programme organised by the Indian Red Cross Society (Nagaland branch) at Raj Bhavan in Kohima on Monday. The theme of the programme was 'Everything we do comes #fromtheheart'.
Delivering his presidential address, the governor urged the gathering to contribute in their own capacities for humanitarian service with the Red Cross Society in order to build a more peaceful and sustainable community to make the world a better place to live in.
Ganesan said one of the most inspiring aspects of the work of the Red Cross is the role of its volunteers. He added that the volunteers are the lifeblood of this organisation providing essential support and assistance to those in need.
"Their work is underpinned by a deep sense of understanding of the challenges faced by the communities they serve," he said.
The governor said the uninhibited voluntary service of the youth and Red Cross members taking part in its activities is recognised the world over.
On the theme of the Red Cross Day, Ganesan said it is a powerful reminder that the work of the Red Cross is driven by compassion, empathy and kindness.
He also said people must remember that everything they do in their personal interactions with others comes from the heart. He added that it is through acts of kindness and generosity that people can make a positive difference in the world.
