a house when clara was just 11 years old. she stayed by his side and looked after him for three years, learning how to give him all his medicines.when the civil war began in 1861, she immediately

organization for the next 23 years. her last field mission (使命) as president of the american red cross was to help the victims of the 1900 galveston hurricane. she did not retire (退休) from the american red cross until she was 83. true to her nature, clara always went to where the need was the greatest.today, the american red cross continues the mission clara started more than 100 years ago.
