We had to find help quickly, so we called an emergency number. It was already dark, and we couldn’t even see where we were.

Since then, I’ve wanted to help others too. I signed up with Blue Sky Rescue in 2009, and I’ve been a volunteer ever since.

We’ve provided medical aid and searched for missing people after natural disasters, like the 2013 earthquake in Ya’an and the typhoon in the Philippines in the same year.
