MRC’s official Mascot: Andoh​

7 (1)

Meet Andoh! Andoh is a shapeshifter formed entirely by a piece of very useful triangular bandage, an essential item for a first aider. Andoh is very versatile, able to change its form into something useful to aid the needs of a bandage. Andoh is also the acronym for Aider Never Deny or Hesitate. In other words, Andoh is a perfect mascot for a first aider who is genuine and never denies or hesitates to help people in need irrespective of race, religion or social status. In every superhero, there is a sidekick. Andoh is accompanied by Siren who alerts him when there is an urgent need for help. As representative of the MRCS, Andoh and Siren work as a team to provide help, care and love to all.
