The Palau Red Cross Society (PRCS) had the opportunity to meet with the Executive Director Mr. John Hirsh of the American Red Cross, Northern Mariana Islands Chapter, during his recent visit to Palau. His visit aimed to share ideas and provide advice on strengthening PRCS programs, as well as ways to improve Service to Armed Forces (SAF).

PRCS Executive Director Maireng Sengebau, Administrative Manager Margie Ngirmidol, and Communications Officer Myra Mayer met with Mr. Hirsh to discuss ongoing programs, as well as how both offices can collaborate more for improvement of services and sustainability of each society.

This June, two of our youth volunteers conducted Recyclable Arts & Crafts Workshops with Ad Hoc Art Center with the themes of ocean, environment and money.

On June 10, our Administrative Apprentice, Jose T. Thomas, conducted a class in observance of World Environment Day (6/5) & World Ocean Day (6/8) with kids decorating colorful ocean and land animals & their habitats.

On June 24, our Disaster Management & Climate Action volunteer, Omuchel Kent, led a class on decorating cute piggy banks to put coins in and start saving money. A big thanks to all the kids who joined the classes and to Ad Hoc for the continued partnership of educating children that recycling and reusing things can be fun!

🎉 We’re thrilled to announce that our very own North Branch Youth Board Member, Ms. Melvira Kazuma, and Youth Officer, Ms. Ibuuch Kumaichi are representing us in the Pacific Mini Games!🏅

We are incredibly proud of these outstanding athletes and their dedication. Wishing you both the best of luck — we're cheering you on all the way! 🙌🔥
