Restoring family links
In cooperation with the National Red
Cross Society, the ICRC continues to assist children separated from their
families by conflict and/or natural disasters. This involves locating their
relatives, reuniting them with their families when appropriate, and supporting
their reintegration into family and community life. The ICRC also helps to
restore contacts between family members who have been separated, including
former weapon bearers, illegal immigrants and minors in detention.
Red Cross Messages
The Rwanda International Committee for the Red Cross and
Rwanda Red Cross helps families stay in touch through the use of Red Cross
Messages (RCMs). These are unsealed letters on a two-page form that can be
detached and retained by the recipient. The first page is used by the sender
for his or her message. The second page contains the reply. The identities and
full addresses of the sender and his correspondent appear on both pages. RCMs
enable relatives to exchange news of a personal nature through the network of
Red Cross and Red International Committee for the Red Cross worldwide.
