World Red Cross Day is celebrated on 8 May every year. Also known as World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, it marks the significance of the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) and staff and volunteers working to save lives around the world. Blood donors from Melbourne spoke to SBS Nepali about their experience in donating blood and the increasing participation from the Nepali community.
