RedR

Patrons and corporate supporters of disaster relief charity, RedR, received thanks from the charity's president HRH The Princess Royal at a reception held in their honor last Wednesday. The event took place at the Institution of Engineering and Technology.

From January aid workers can undertake training that helps them gain credits towards a postgraduate qualification, thanks to a new collaboration between RedR and Oxford Brookes University.

RedR completes three global training events as part of the partnership between the private and humanitarian sectors.

RedR has relocated to Vauxhall, London. Our new address is:

250a Kennington Lane London SE11 5RD

Long-standing RedR member and engineer Paul Jawor returned at the end of last month from a four-week mission to Myanmar (Burma), where he assisted with relief efforts following the devastating cyclone Nargis.

On 3 July 2008, the All in Diary (AID) - a practical resource for humanitarian workers in the field - was given special mention in the House of Commons.

With the world's largest humanitarian operation taking place in Darfur, and no let-up to the conflict in sight, there is still a huge need for RedR's training programme in Darfur.
