When Janet travels, she always looks for the local Red Cross.
This year, Janet and Dave her husband, Dave (who is also a Red Cross volunteer in the Northern Arizona Chapter based out of Sedona) visited the Osaka Prefecture Red Cross in Japan, where they met with the local public relations manager and exchanged Red Cross medallions.
While walking through Osaka, Janet spotted a Red Cross sign on a storefront. Turns out, it was a blood donation center! Their tour guide even shared that she regularly donates blood through drives at her government job.
This isn't the only time Janet has found Red Cross abroad. Last year, Janet visited the Red Cross in Portugal while traveling there as well.
We love seeing these two bring Red Cross spirit wherever they go. Their travels are a great reminder that the Red Cross truly is a worldwide organization. Wherever you are, you can find people carrying on the same mission!
Let us know in the comments if you've ever seen Red Cross on your travels abroad ❤️
