LRK visiting Andorra – Liechtenstein
ANDORRA/VADUZ – Hereditary Princess Sophie (President) and Nicole Matt-Schlegel (Secretary General) were able to represent the Liechtenstein Red Cross (LRK) at the annual meeting of the Small European National Societies (SENS) in Andorra last week.
This meeting provided, among other things, the opportunity to differ on the current and future strategies, the challenges and new projects and services. According to the announcement, the LRK uses the opportunity to report on the House of Families that is being built in Schaan, the prevention project Network Families Liechtenstein and the lifesaver app, which the LRK would like to implement in the future.
The lifesaver app met with particularly great interest. With the launch of this app, registered individuals from civil society can take life-saving measures in the event of a cardiac arrest until the rescue team arrives.
