Botswana Red Cross Society Kasane Sub-Branch marked its World Volunteers Day celebration with warmth, unity and gratitude.
Chairperson Mr Twinkle highlighted this year’s theme, “Local, Everywhere,” reminding volunteers that true service begins in our communities and extends far beyond.
Guest speaker Bettina, Director of Coffee Buzz, moved the room to tears as she spoke about kindness and empathy. Her ongoing support from cooking Kids Club meals to donating 80 blankets, securing Spar vouchers, and linking volunteers to Mowana for a memorable boat cruise has made her a true champion of the Red Cross.
Youth representative Margret Kaimba shared how volunteerism has shaped her life since 2017, saying, “You get no pay, but your reward from God is great.”
The day ended with renewed energy, shared stories, and treats from two volunteers who blessed the gathering with pizza and cupcakes, proof that solidarity truly lives at the heart of Kasane.
