9. A Swiss named Henri Durnant wrote a book in 1859, in
which he described the sufferings of soldiers wounded in battle.
People who read that book were moved to pity and wanted to
do something. So, in 1863, representatives of some governments
met at Geneva in Switzerland. There they promised to save from
harm all soldiers wounded in battle as well as those who took
care of them. This agreement is known as the Geneva Convention.
Societies were then formed in many countries to look after the
wounded and the sick, and they united to form one association
named the International Red Cross. You all know that Jesus Christ
was killed on a wooden cross. These countries adopted the Red
Cross as their symbol because, as Christians, they all have great
respect for this sign. The International Red Cross also traces lost
people and keeps itself in touch with prisoners of war. In times
of peace, it goes and serves wherever there is a famine, a flood
or an earthquake.
