The National Assembly dedicated this Monday the 14th of December, 2020 as the sensitization day for Members of the National Assembly. The Red Cross Society Seychelles (RCSS) started off the programme to sensitise Members and increase their knowledge and understanding on the RCSS and its auxiliary role. The members of RCSS also had the chance to show best practices for COVID-19, Safety and Hygiene, Basic first Aid and even Psychological First Aid. After the presentations, the Members of Parliament had a chance to ask a few questions to better understand the RCSS’ mandate, structure and operations.
The members present from the RCSS were Mr Kisnan Tamatave, Ms Manisha Kanbi, Ms Marie-May Esparon, Ms Mirenda Bolo and Ms Karine Ernesta.
Later in the afternoon, the Seychelles National Youth Council (SNYC) hosted a session about ‘Living Values’. As role models in the society, Members were targeted for this activity so that they can influence the lives of young people in their constituency by building on their own existing qualities to help lead the way for others.
The Chief Executive officer of the SNYC, Ms Penny Belmont and Ms Beryl Dodin were the main representatives of the SNYC for the session.
