The Japanese Red Cross Society (JRCS) works across national borders all over the world. In Japan, the JRCS has conducted a range of humanitarian activities including disaster response, medical services, blood donation programme, dissemination of safety services, international youth exchange programme, and social welfare services.
The Japanese Red Cross Language Service Volunteers (LSV), which is part of the Japanese Red Cross Volunteer Corps, was founded based on the volunteer interpretation service for the Tokyo Paralympics held in 1964.
Since then, the LSV has been working by means of volunteer activities including language services and voluntary training, aiming to be a volunteer organization with the Red Cross ideals: the humanitarian mind and the international viewpoints. |
