The South Sudan Red Cross’ (SSRC) Aweil Branch on Friday during its end-of-year celebrations announced the top ten successful volunteers who achieved key programs within the local communities.

They were awarded certificates and appreciated so that they can perform better in the future.

One of the staff members who preferred anonymity because he is not authorized to speak to the media said “SSRC is a volunteer-based organization and every year we hold annual celebrations where we award volunteers who have been committed so that we give a good picture to the outside world about our activities.”

Angelina Arek Atem, a female volunteer, said she was excited about the award received.

“I am very happy for the good idea and the certificate I received from the South Sudan Red Cross,” Arek said. “In the upcoming New Year, I will carry out my cleaning duties as well as awareness campaigns among the communities.”

Another celebrated volunteer, Daniel Deng Lual, said the awards were a result of their hard work and commitment.

“We are delighted so much on the occasion of our recognition,” Deng said. “We have been presented the certificates based on the work we did. I managed to carry out many first aid services across the state.
