Seeing Red on YouTube
Today is World Red Cross Day and the commemoration marks over 60 years of the Red Cross preparing communities for emergencies and providing disaster relief to those in need. Over the past few years, the organization has been using YouTube to help achieve these objectives.
For example, the British Red Cross posted this nine-video how-to series about first aid. The videos cover everything from how to perform CPR to how to treat a burn. Not to be outdone, the American Red Cross has just uploaded sixteen very pertinent videos all about swine flu, including information about how it spreads and how to prevent infection.
In addition, today the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies will launch an ambitious new campaign, called "Our World. Your Move," which aims to raise awareness of today's most pressing humanitarian challenges and highlight the power of individuals to make a difference. Interested in taking part? This animated short can serve as your introduction:
Yours,

very good animation
You people are as lame as it gets. You have no trouble allowing murderous comments from fanatics, but a simple comment of praise for a group of young artists requires your approval.
das ist eine welt DAS IST MEINE WELT !!!!
I cannot watch the video. There's a little icon in the upper left of the frame of the video, but nothing else
:(
Those first aid videos seem informative and interesting.
Wow you guys sucks
The animation is almost rotoscoping like. Very good and for a great cause

Interesting. There is so much that needs fixing, it is hard to know where to start. Red Cross is always a good place to work and help. Unemployment is another place to work. Pleas check out my web store at igointeriordecorating.com thanks. Janir
