The convention’s participants expressed admiration to the PNRC who, under Gordon’s leadership, has shown proactive stance in various emergency situations and recognized it as a Red Cross donor society having contributed and being able to provide assistance to our neighboring countries who were affected by recent various disasters inspite the fact that our country has also suffered and was still recovering from the typhoons that struck us.
