(CMR) The Cayman Islands Red Cross (CIRC) recently hosted its annual volunteer appreciation award ceremony, “The Henris”, at the Marriott Grand Cayman Resort. The event recognized and highlighted the outstanding achievements of the CIRC volunteers in 2022.

The Volunteer of the Year award was presented to Pamella Martin, who has been an outstandingly active volunteer in all of CIRC’s community programs.  

“The Red Cross is an organization built on volunteer work and community engagement. This event has become an annual event to celebrate our volunteers and their hard work in the passing year,” Director Jondo Obi said

The event opened with remarks by the keynote speaker, Deputy Premier, Minister for Finance & Economic Development and Minister for Border Control & Labor, Hon. Christopher Saunders. He thanked the CIRC volunteers for their hard work and their contribution to the Cayman Islands Community. 

Chairman of the CIRC Board, Doug Moffatt, highlighted the tremendous impact the CIRC volunteers have on the community.

“Red Cross is the largest corps of volunteers in our country, trained and ready to fulfill our auxiliary role to the Cayman Islands Government with very little notice,” he explained.

“The Cayman Islands Red Cross was formally recognized at National Hero’s Day and presented with the National Hero's Day Award for our volunteerism and charitable services. This award was given to the Red Cross for its impact on Caymanian society and for dedicating the past 60 years to providing invaluable services to our islands”, said Moffatt. 

Long Service Pins were then awarded to Abad Imperial, Cislyn Petgrave, Julette Clemmings, Marcia Kelly, Peter Hugh, Marsha Thompson and Ruth Thompson for 15 years of service. 

Long Service Leadership Award was awarded to the CIRC former Deputy Director and Child Protection & Sexuality Education Programme Manager, Carolina Ferreira, who has been with the organization for over 20 years. 

Special recognition was awarded to CIRC youth volunteer 15-year-old Allan Wanger, who volunteers every Saturday at the Thrift Shop. 

First Aid Training Manager Peter Hughes took the stage and thanked the first-aid-trained volunteers for their hard work in covering forty (40) community events over the course of 2022. The first aid program was also responsible for training over six hundred (600) individuals in life-saving skills.

Thrift Shop Manager Remy Imperial outlined the exceptionally busy year for the Thrift Shop, which provided assistance to two hundred and fifteen (215) vulnerable clients, visited the districts eleven (11) times as part of the Community Outreach Program, and provided pick-up services over a hundred (100) times to assist donors. 

Disaster Manager Stuart Cruickshank provided an overview of the work done in the field of disaster preparedness and response. In 2022, forty-one (41) new Community Emergency Response Team (CERT) members were trained in partnership with Hazard Management Cayman Islands (HMCI). 

Tropical Storm Ian

During Tropical Storm Ian, thirty-nine (39) CIRC volunteers manned the government shelters and ensured all nine (9) CIRC containers were fully stocked with response supplies. Being the first shelter to open on island, the CIRC Shelter provided a safe haven to nineteen (19) persons needing to evacuate from their homes.

Thirty-eight (38) CIRC volunteers participated in the Cayman Islands Airports Authority full-scale “emergency” exercise at Owen Roberts International Airport. The volunteers played a very important role in creating a realistic scenario, using their skills as first aid-trained personnel and emergency responders, as well as portraying themselves as “victims” of a plane crash.

Support Our Seniors

As part of the “Support Our Seniors” project, which focuses on training and deploying volunteers to assist Cayman’s vulnerable elderly population identified by the Department of Children and Family Services, thirty-two (32) volunteers made two hundred and eight (228) trips to support vulnerable seniors with transportation to doctor’s appointments and medication and food delivery. 

Volunteer and Resource Manager Samantha White-Smith thanked all the CIRC volunteers for a prolific 2022.

“The Cayman Islands Red Cross is privileged to have a strong, thoughtful and committed group of volunteers. As a volunteer, you bring so much to the organization: skills, experience, friendship, vision, leadership, inspiration and advice… Tonight, we take this opportunity to thank you and celebrate all that you do,” she said.
