Volunteers will also educate people about basic hygiene, care for the sick and help staff field hospitals.He said IFRC is asking donors for 5 million Swiss francs ($4.4 million) to fund the immediate needs of its national chapters.<a href="http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?cid=1239710830425&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull" target="_blank">JPOST</a></blockquote>
