The Swiss federal government and the Swiss Red Cross have
been working closely together to help Nepal for more than 50
years. The two nations are drawn together by their similarities:
their location between lowlands and mountain peaks, their
existential dangers and tourism opportunities provided by
geography and nature, and the knowledge and know-how of
their people as their one major resource. I therefore consider it
to be a highly fortuitous omen that the Red Cross Gala is being
held in St. Moritz, a privileged resort in the Alps, in favour of
Nepal whose mountain location time and again causes pain and
suffering. For this reason, I was extremely pleased to be invited
to be the honorary patron of this Gala.
Thanks to its own experience, Switzerland has always been in a
position to provide Nepal with support in the various areas of its
development. We have striven to improve the safety of countless
households by extending irrigation systems and building infrastructure such as roads and suspension bridges. Not only have
the Nepalese been given a better foundation for improving their
nutrition, but also better access to the outside world, markets,
schools and health centres. We have also invested in reforestation
to prevent landslides and flooding – something that will resonate
with the people of the canton of Graubünden. And we, the
Swiss government and the Red Cross, are of course providing
reconstruction assistance for those who were hard hit by the
consequences of the earthquakes in April and May 2015.
This is an expression of our commitment to Nepal that has
been unwavering, even during the years of internal political
conflict.
In the view of the Swiss government, political cooperation is also
important. We stood by Nepal as it came out of civil war. And we
want to continue supporting the country, by helping it establish
and consolidate its governmental structures at all levels to ensure
the rule of law, the democratic participation of all Nepalese in the
political life of the country, and to safeguard human rights.
Our collaboration with Nepal has always focused on improving
the lives of the most vulnerable people living in remote regions.
And this is the very reason for this evening's Red Cross Gala.
The proceeds will be used to extend the safe water supply system,
thereby preventing disease and improving people's lives. This is
all part of the humanitarian vocation shared by the Swiss government and the Swiss Red Cross: protecting the health, life and
dignity of human beings. I thank you, dear guests and sponsors
of the Red Cross Gala, for your generosity and support in this
major undertaking.
Johann N. Schneider-Ammann

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
OF THE SWISS RED CROSS
ANNEMARIE HUBER-HOTZ
In a region where water – whether free-flowing or frozen – adds
so much to the beauty of our environment and quality of life, it
is difficult to imagine that in other regions the opposite is true.
In countries such as Nepal, an excess of water increasingly causes
flooding and landslides, accompanied by disaster and destruction.
At the same time, a lack of access to water forces people to walk
for hours every day to fetch this vital resource, often a job left to
children who then cannot go to school. And a lack of clean water
is far too often the cause of infectious diseases that in many cases
result in death.
Our sympathy for Nepal has only become greater with the
passing years. Our work there includes ensuring clean water
supplies and improving the basic living standards of the poorest,
most vulnerable people. Having access to clean water is a question of survival. This is why it is essential for it to be included in
health promotion programmes that are part of the 'Victims of
Forgotten Disasters' campaigns. It is even more important in the
help we provide for the victims of a far-from-forgotten disaster,
by which I mean the earthquake that hit Nepal barely a year
ago, bringing so much additional distress to an already longsuffering population.
We run these programmes in Nepal as elsewhere to help people
who struggle for survival every day. For many of them, the Red
Cross is their only hope of finding better long-term prospects.
Unquestionably, it is our duty to provide this hope. We are
sincerely grateful to the guests and sponsors of the Red Cross Gala
for giving us their generous support and thereby helping us turn
this duty into tangible action. We would particularly like to thank
all those involved in organizing this event.
I am very pleased that you, dear guests, by attending this gala are
once again displaying solidarity with extremely vulnerable people
of this world. I thank you for your support and wish you all a
most enjoyable evening.

What grew from the seed planted by Henry Dunant and
his friends 150 years ago? The Swiss Red Cross has grown
into an impressive tree, visible throughout the country and
with deep roots in the community. It is still important to
protect human lives, health and dignity, and quickly provide
assistance for people in need. "No more war" has remained
wishful thinking. Quite the opposite. Resources are becoming
scarce. Owing to extreme weather conditions and unstable
political circumstances, the locations of refugee crises and
famine are changing fast.
Henry Dunant, founder of the International
Committee of the Red Cross
The Red Cross is active everywhere.
© ICRC
The battle of Solferino in June 1859 marked the birth of the Red Cross. The battlefield was littered with corpses
and wounded soldiers. They died of their wounds, thirst and hunger because there was no-one to take care of them.
Birth of the Red Cross
1859: Solferino
Have you ever seen a battle? Not in the newspaper or on TV, but
a real one. Close enough for you to hear not only the shooting,
but also the horses' hooves or the rumbling tanks, and the soldiers' screams. And yet far enough away for you not to be directly
involved in the tumult. Henry Dunant witnessed a battle like this,
when he was a young man on a business trip and wanted to meet
Emperor Napoleon III. That was in Solferino, not far from Lake
Garda where the French allies of Piedmont-Sardinia engaged in
battle with the Austrian troops.
"The women of Castiglione, seeing that I made
no distinction between nationalities, followed my
example, showing the same kindness to all these
men whose origins were so different, and all of
whom were foreigners to them. 'Tutti fratelli'
(all brothers), they repeated feelingly."
It was an experience to give anyone pause for thought. Yet very few
people would be spurred into action. Once the cannons had fallen
silent and the smoke had dispersed, the battlefield was littered with
corpses and wounded soldiers. Most of the victims did not die during
the fighting, but later on from their wounds or from a lack of water
and food. Henry Dunant acted. He called for a relief operation and
persuaded men and women from nearby Castiglione to help the
wounded soldiers abandoned by their troops, regardless of whether
they were French, Sardinian or Austrian.
Henry Dunant described the battle in a book and his account
culminated in the demand for an international agreement to
protect the victims of war. All countries were to set up relief
societies to train volunteers – just like those who assisted him
in Solferino – so that they could perform first aid.This was the
birth of the Red Cross. In 1866 the Swiss Red Cross became the
11th national society to answer Henry Dunant's call to action: to
train volunteers in times of peace to treat the wounded in times
of war.

Assistance for refugees: the Swiss Red Cross
was there in 1956 when Swiss Post vehicles
brought 14,000 people to Switzerland after
the Hungarian revolution. Nowadays Red
Cross volunteers take care of refugees in
various crisis situations around the world.
For example, here in Lebanon, where they
are distributing food parcels near the village
of Ketermaya. The parcels are paid for by
the SRC.
Assistance for refugees
1870–71: Internment of General Bourbaki's army
What can be done if a whole army appears on the border and asks
to be allowed in? Not because it wants to conquer the country,
but to seek protection from its powerful opponent.
What does a neutral country do then?
Four years after it was founded, the Swiss Red Cross (SRC) faced
its first major challenge as part of a relief operation. General
Bourbaki's army of 85,000 exhausted and badly equipped soldiers
and officers asked for asylum, having been beaten into retreat by
German troops in the Jura mountains. The Red Cross was given
the task of finding shelter for them throughout the country. At
that time 2.6 million people lived in Switzerland, so the foreign
troops made up 3% of the population. It was a huge effort for a
small country.
Today the SRC still provides help for refugees and other people
in distress, whether in their countries of origin, along their migration routes, or in Switzerland. For example, it supplies Syrian
refugee families living in Syria's neighbouring countries with
food, basic medical care and emergency treatment. Along their
migration routes, Red Cross volunteers provide first aid for the
large number of people who arrive each day. And in Switzerland
the SRC assists migrants with the asylum procedure, helps them
to integrate into society, and provides psychosocial counselling.

Disaster relief as core competence: the Swiss Red Cross had its first mission
abroad in Messina in 1908. 'Swiss villages' were built as emergency shelters
after the earthquake. In Nepal last year it became clear shortly after the earthquake that providing a roof over people's heads was an urgent need.
First deployment in a natural disaster
1908: Earthquake in Messina
Have you ever had the ground disappear from under your feet?
On 28 December 1908, at 5:20 am in the vicinity of the Strait of
Messina, the strip of sea between Calabria and Sicily, a rumbling
was heard and the earth started to shake. Most people were taken
by surprise while they slept. As many as 65,000 people, almost
half the population of Messina, died in the rubble.
And after the earthquake came water: a tsunami gushed into
the ruins of the coastal area, sweeping away whole villages with
its powerful wave. For the Red Cross this was its first operation
in response to a natural disaster. In Switzerland a call for donations went out – and in present-day value as much as 5 million
francs was collected. The survivors were supplied with foodstuffs,
clothing, bandages and medicines. Emergency shelters were built,
including two 'Swiss villages' comprising 35 wooden chalets with
Swiss names such as William Tell, Pestalozzi or Saint Gotthard.
What do people need when they have lost everything?
A roof over their heads.
Immediately after the earthquake struck Nepal last year, it was
clear that the most urgent need was for a roof over their heads,
clean water, food, and blankets. Even today it is just as important
to protect human lives, health and dignity, and quickly provide
assistance for people in need.
Disaster preparation has become one of the SRC's most important sectors. As many as 97% of all fatalities in extreme natural
disasters nowadays occur in developing countries. And they are
always the poorest of the poor.
But we do not need to go so far away. Just imagine if avalanche
barriers and protective forest did not exist in our mountains.
Many human lives have already been saved in Switzerland by
the various preventative measures.

Health as a core competence: millions died during the First World War, and then the Spanish flu struck. It was an enormous
challenge for the health service in Switzerland. The SRC provided 750 nurses for hospitals and the medical services of the Swiss
armed forces: 69 of them died during their mission.
Health as a core competence
1918–1920: Spanish flu
Can you imagine? Someone has survived the war, perhaps as a
soldier on the front line. Finally he arrives home. Only to die in
bed from the flu.
In November 1918 the First World War was over, and the armies
had been demobilized. Everyone was exhausted, both the civilian
population and the military. Exhausted and weary of a war, the
likes of which Europe had never seen before, that had left millions
dead, accompanied by revolutions and famines. Shortly before the
guns finally fell silent, a flu epidemic arrived from America and
swept across the weakened continent. It was particularly tragic
that the Spanish flu, as it became known, should mainly affect
men aged between 20 and 40. As if the remains of a generation
that had spent its most hopeful years in the trenches should be
completely wiped out. In all, 25 million people fell victim to the
three waves of flu that ravaged Europe between 1918 and 1920.
The Spanish flu was an enormous challenge for the health service
in Switzerland. The SRC provided 750 nurses for hospitals and
the medical services of the Swiss armed forces. As many as 69
of them paid for their devotion with their lives. Soon after it was
founded, the SRC was not only training volunteers to care for
the wounded in wartime but also professional nurses to care for
the sick and injured in times of peace. An important milestone
was the founding of the Lindenhof Red Cross nursing school in
Bern. Up until then training for nurses had been in the hands of
religious organizations. Now anyone was free to train as a nurse
regardless of their religious affiliation
20
After the Second World War, the focus shifted more and more
from helping the military to helping civilians. The SRC made a
major contribution to setting up the healthcare and social services
in Switzerland. Preserving, promoting and restoring human health
has now become one of the SRC's main tasks. Helping marginalized sections of the population to play an active role in society,
whether or not they have a migrant background, is another.
Tens of thousands of volunteers and staff work in the Swiss
Samaritans, the Swiss Life-Saving Association, the Swiss Disaster
Dogs Association REDOG, the Swiss Army Medical Corps, the
Swiss Air-Rescue Association Rega, the cantonal associations
and at SRC headquarters.

Today, the Swiss Red Cross works worldwide: Laos was the first country where the SRC carried out a medical aid project.
Today, it is helping to set up health services and fight epidemics in about 30 countries. It is extremely important to help people
whose situation no longer makes the headlines, but who are still suffering from the long-term consequences of violent conflicts
and poverty-induced diseases.
Helping people to help themselves
1970: Development aid
When people are given aid they come to rely on it. But is that
inevitable?
Laos 1970. On behalf of the Swiss government, the SRC sets up
a medical aid project in Luang Pradang, a province of the SouthEast Asian country. Like many other countries, Laos has gained
independence from colonial rule. Decolonization brings insecurity with it.
Decolonization also had an impact on the work of the SRC.
As many new states came into being, there were also many new
national Red Cross or Red Crescent societies. But initially these
were not in any position to take on specific projects.
The SRC started submitting its own projects to these countries.
These were projects that could be carried out in partnership with
the local authorities and the local Red Cross or Red Crescent
societies. The SRC's work focused on healthcare and reconstruction in the wake of natural disasters.
How could we help without making the other country dependent? In China there's a saying: "Give a man a fish and you feed
him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for life."
22
Poverty and social adversity are often less apparent in Switzerland
than in the countries of the south. However, for those affected,
often families, the hardships are no less difficult to endure. The
SRC provides fast, effective help for people whose misfortunes
are no fault of their own. With targeted financial support. Small
contributions can often make a huge difference.
Being a part of something big. Working together to
create something that can change the future. This year
the Swiss Red Cross is not just any institution celebrating its 150th anniversary, but the best known
and most multi-faceted organization in Switzerland.

LEAN WATER FOR A
HEALTHY LIFE IN NEPAL
Thanks to the long water pipe, Rita Sarki now has water close to her home in
Diwang, Nepal. Rita used to have to walk five hours every day to fetch water.
26
Have a seat and take a sip of water from the glass in front of
you! Just imagine, while you are quenching your thirst, what a
blessing a glass of clean drinking water is for a child in Nepal.
And just take a moment to fetch water with Rita Sarki from
Nepal.
Just 50 metres from her front door, there is a tap. Even though
it has been there for a year, this source of water is still something
special for Rita Sarki. Some children have already arrived. Laughing and chattering, they wait until 5 pm when the tap will be
turned on. Now the women flock from all directions carrying the
traditional metal canisters on their backs. None of the 60 families
in the scattered mountain community of Diwang needs to walk
more than 10 minutes to reach a tap. For those of us who are used
to having running water inside our homes, even that would be a
chore. Because it's not just drinking water that has to be carried,
but all the water for washing clothes, daily hygiene, cooking and
sometimes also for the livestock.
Women's burden
But for Rita Sarki and the other women of Diwang, everyday life
has now become much easier. The 23-year-old remembers all too
well how many hours she used to spend fetching water and how
exhausting it was. She would set out before dawn for the remote
water source. It took all her concentration not to lose her footing
walking down the steep path. "Once I got to the source I had a
long wait ahead of me," she explains. "The water flows so sparingly
that it took forever to fill our canisters." She then had to carry the
20 litres back up to the mountain village. Eight to 10 times a day
to meet the family's needs. Often she had backache in the evening.
Or her head hurt.
Most of the burden of this poverty is borne by women and girls,
who in most societies are responsible for fetching water. Whether
in Asia, Africa, or Latin America, millions of girls and women
spend several hours each day carrying water from distant wells
and rivers. Canister after canister, bucket after bucket, they haul

the precious resource – while the boys
are at school. For families, water is a
much greater priority than educating
their girls. Any society in which the women and girls waste most
of their time and energy fetching water and where every year thousands of children die from diarrhoea is fated to remain incapable of
fulfilling its potential. This is also true of economic development:
according to the World Health Organization (WHO), as many as
five billion working days and more than 440 million school days
are lost every year in developing countries because so many people
fall ill owing to unhygienic living conditions.
Infants' health
Thanks to the taps, some of the burden on women in the village
has been lifted. But that's not the only improvement. Clean water
and hygiene go hand in hand and are a prerequisite for good
health and development. Whenever clean drinking water is rare,
people have no choice but to drink poor quality water; for example
from ponds. This is often contaminated with animal or human
waste and causes severe diarrhoeal diseases. Every 20 seconds a
child under five years old dies from a diarrhoeal disease because of
contaminated water and a lack of hygiene. Almost all these fatalities occur in developing countries. Washing hands with soap,
using latrines, drying crockery in the sun to kill germs, these
hygiene measures have now become routine for the villagers in
Diwang. No children have died in the 18 villages where the SRC
has installed water pipes over the past few years.
The well becomes a meeting place twice a day
when the tap is turned on. Nine taps guarantee
that the women of Diwang no longer need to
walk more than 10 minutes to fetch water.
Villagers' responsibility
All the villagers lent a hand in building the new taps – a total of nine for
the whole village – and the seven-kilometre long water pipe. Even
Rita Sarki dug and shovelled for 45 days. "It's important for people to do their part and also to be responsible for maintenance.
This brings down the cost and encourages the villagers to take
better care of their water supply," explains Raj Kumar Kshetri, the
Red Cross water programme coordinator. Experiences in various
countries show that with a central water supply, women can better
realize their own potential. They have more time and energy to
spend looking after their children, tending their gardens, or are
able take a paid job, thereby contributing to the well-being of the
whole family. Shortly after the water tank was built, the women
of Diwang were already planning to irrigate their gardens so that
they could grow vegetables all year round and feed their families
more healthily. The Red Cross ran courses to teach them how
to do this. "As the water was in such short supply before, the
villagers didn't have any experience of planting and irrigating
their gardens. Thanks to the water tank, this has now changed,"
explains Raj Kumar Kshetri. The Red Cross has a long-term
commitment to improving access to water, sanitary facilities
and hygiene worldwide. The total proceeds of the 2016 gala are
earmarked for the victims of forgotten disasters and the water
programme in Nepal.
We thank you for your trust in our work and your support.

We don't look away!
Over the past 10 years, the Red Cross movement has given
more than 15 million people access to clean water and sanitary
facilities. By 2025 this should be the case for 15 million more.
This is the goal of the Global Water & Sanitation Initiative that
the International Federation of Red Cross & Red Crescent
Societies launched as part of the UN Decade 2005.
The Red Cross remains, even when no-one else cares. When
the mighty earthquake or devastating flood are no longer in the
media spotlight or are ignored by the general public. We help
wherever forgotten disasters and poverty rob people of their lives
or livelihoods. Thanks to your support, thousands of people have
access to clean water and better hygiene, even the poorest people
receive medical treatment, and expectant mothers, babies and
infants are taken good care of.

THE
SWISS RED CROSS GALA BOARD
Dear guests
On behalf of the Swiss Red Cross (SRC), we most warmly welcome
you to the Swiss Red Cross Gala 2016 in St. Moritz.
We are proud to be part of the launch of the 150th anniversary of the Swiss Red Cross, one of the most renowned NGOs
worldwide. It’s the first time that a Swiss Red Cross Gala has
been celebrated in the Engadine and on the frozen lake of
St. Moritz.
The Red Cross Gala Board is deeply moved and impressed by
the work being done by the SRC in all regions of the world.
The proceeds from the Swiss Red Cross Gala 2016 in St Moritz
will go towards helping the victims of forgotten disasters and
the water program in Nepal. The earthquake that hit Nepal in
late April 2015 caused unimaginable suffering.

We would be very grateful if you would support us by giving
generously.
Yours faithfully
The Swiss Red Cross Gala Board

MESSAGE FROM THE CEO OF MEDICA
DR. FRANZ KÄPPELI
In 1956, medica was established by Dr. Lambelet as a laboratory.
From 1972 onward, it constantly expanded in line with medical
progress under the auspices of Dr. Käppeli. The laboratory has
been operated under the name “medica” since 1976 and was
recognized by the Swiss national authorities that same year under
Dr. Käppeli.
medica provides a broad range of high-quality services in
laboratory diagnostics and pathology, which are also available
inter-regionally to referring parties, such as physicians in private
practice, clinics and patients. Our work revolves around our
patients and around the challenge of always being able to offer
the best. As a teaching institution recognized by FAMH, it is a
matter of course for us to support and co-organize advanced and
continuing training for physicians and medical personnel.
Our humanitarian commitment is part of our guiding principles.
It is therefore only natural for us to cooperate with and support
non-profit humanitarian institutions. Examples of our numerous
and diverse projects are the Theodora Children's Charity, Kids of
Africa, Special Olympics Switzerland, the Muri Competition for
young musical talents and the Swiss Red Cross (SRC).
Our connections with the SRC are special, given our routine
use of laboratory diagnostics and our emergency medical services.
SRC is the best known and most multi-faceted humanitarian
organization in Switzerland and we are proud to be allowed to
support it in this major anniversary year.
We enjoy looking back with you on a successful 150-year history
and want to help you to continue making your motto “For more
humanity” a reality. May all your various anniversary activities be
highly successful and have the public relations effect you deserve.
That is medica's wish for you.

The Party", DJ Antoine and his longtime studio partner, Mad

(Greece) working with various producers and songwriters on
new singles and a new album. This has already resulted in exciting anthems, the summery and refreshing single "Holiday" feat.
Akon which has conquered many European charts and the brandnew, extraordinary single "Thank You", released in January, with
its smooth and warm vocals. The new album "Provocateur" will
follow in March 2016.

“Did you look around?”, Oil on wood panel,
60 x 60 cm, 2014
Artist: Bob & Roberta Smith
Bob & Roberta Smith is a single artist persona who has achieved
a skyrocketing reputation in the UK art scene, especially acknowledged by the Royal Academy. With rotating exhibitions at the
Tate Modern London and the PS1 in New York, Bob & Roberta
Smith is one of the most puzzling contemporary artists worldwide.
His art work is witty but still political: Bob & Roberta Smith
(*1963) sees art as an important element in democratic life.
Central to Bob and Roberta Smith’s thinking is the idea that
political campaigns are extended art works that include a variety
of consciousness raising artefacts. Much of his art takes the form
of painted signs. These colourful slogans on banners and placards
challenge elitisms and advocate the importance of creativity in
politics and education.

INA DEDERER
Adriana Lima - Angel, 2015
Oil on canvas
120x140 cm
Ina Dederer, currently living in Zurich, is a painter with Russian
and German roots whose works sell around the globe. The talented
artist has developed her own painting style over many years; she
technically reinterprets contemporary works and refines them
with harmonious and soft-flowing posterized contours.
The work, Adriana Lima - Angel, like many of the other pieces
from the series Beauties, shows a woman who embodies the
typical western ideal of feminine beauty. At first sight, the image
is perceived as perfect. However, as soon as you get closer, you
notice large areas of color and unusual shades used for the skin.
The technique applied shows us that the perfection of these icons
is created through distance. The beautiful women we are familiar
with in film, television, advertising and fashion magazines are
simply a distant, manipulated depiction of reality. The artist
uses posterization, a technique for creating powerful contrasts
by means of refinement, detachment and the emphasis of
certain lines in the image.

INA DEDERER
Ice Princess, 2014
Oil on canvas
100x100 cm
Ina Dederer is a Zurich-based painter with Russian and German
roots whose paintings are sold around the world. Over the years,
Ina has developed her unique painting style using inspiration
from posterization, a technique for creating powerful contrasts
by means of refinement, detachment and the emphasis of certain
lines in the image. This talented painter reinterprets contemporary works and refines them with harmonious and soft-flowing
contours.
The work, Ice Princess, like many of the other pieces from the
series Beauties, shows a woman embodying the typical western
ideal of a feminine beauty, this time an image in white, and wintery cool color tones. Initially, the princess is perceived as perfect.
However, when you look closer, large light areas and unusual
shades used for the skin become visible. Through the applied
artistic technique, we see that perfection of these icons is created
through distance. The beautiful women we see today in film,
television, advertising and fashion magazines are simply a remote
and manipulated depiction of reality.

Mainau 2, Schattenskulptur, H60 x B40, Kgst.Nr.113
Born in Munich in 1951, Stefan Szczesny is among the protagonists of the ‘Junge Wilde’ movement that emerged in the late 70s
in reaction to minimal and other non-figurative art. The goal of
this movement was to break free from the ‘less is more’ dictates of
the time and to breathe new life into the subject matters of figurative art. In his unmistakable style – light, spirited and for-ever
positive – Szczesny falls back on the traditions of classical modernity. He feels connected in particular to Picasso and Matisse.
"The main duty of art is to convey a positive, humane vision of
life," Szczesny says. The shadow sculptures depict women, plants,
fishes and abstract forms. Szczesny's Shadow Sculptures embody
a striking simplicity of line and material.They are life-affirming
