The Singapore Red Cross Youth marked its 60th anniversary on Friday.

going forward, the organisation hopes to work with youths in schools to come up with a curriculum focusing on character and leadership development.

He said: "We are keenly aware that we want to work with the Ministry of Education in delivering a student-centric, values-driven education to our youths in the Red Cross."
