The 2009 gathering coincided with the Solferino Youth Declaration signed that same year on behalf of all Red Cross Red Crescent young volunteers worldwide. The Youth Declaration was prepared with input from almost 500 young people from 150 countries. They agreed to do more, do better and reach further.
Volunteers frequently visit the elderly and provide care and support in everyday tasks in the region. More than 30,000 elderly people living alone in Azerbaijan have received Red Cross Red Crescent support.
