Aslam has been a volunteer at MRC since 2015, with a keen interest in first aid. He completed the First Aid trainings provided by the branch, which has led him to be able to save the life of his uncle. Aslam deeply appreciates getting the opportunity to be part of MRC and look forward to see a day where there is atleast one trained first aider for 10 people in his island, which he believes would increase the chances of saving people’s lives. - Aslam Abdulla, Volunteer | Haa Dhaallu Branch
