World Cross Day

The IRRC started off as one man, Jean-Henri Dument, a Swiss businessman, traveled to Italy to see Napoleon III. His army needed help, and he also knew medicine. 

When the First World War started and the IRRC was formed, they had a lot of people that needed help and only a handful of money was with them. 

World War II, they helped many saves to safely and safe haven, but the money was running out and business was slow in Algeria, where they had all of the money earned. 

When a Nobel Prize was won by Norway and the IRRC was in bankruptcy, they gave the money to them and the IRRC was up and running. 

World Cross Day is celebrated in almost every country and each country has a different date when they celebrate it.
