World Affairs Council of Charleston: February 3 Event

WACC Evening Speaker Series:
The Red Cross: From SC to the World

February 3, 2026
5:30 – 7:00 pm
Charleston Library Society
164 King Street
Charleston, SC

The Lowcountry Chapter of the American Red Cross delivers lifesaving and humanitarian services across nine counties from Georgetown to Beaufort. Their impact is felt every day—responding to home fires, preparing communities for hurricanes, supporting the Armed Forces, and advancing the vital mission of blood collection.

The Red Cross is also part of the world’s largest humanitarian organization–the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)–that works to save lives, build community resilience, and promote dignity around the world. These international efforts range from Ukraine to Gaza to Sudan, and their impact cannot be overstated. Missions like these have been recognized with three Nobel Prizes. 

On February 3, 2026, we will hear from a panel of speakers led by Ambassador Tom Carter of the American Red Cross. Meaghan Silsby, Executive Director of the Lowcountry American Red Cross, and Ivan Sterpin will highlight the efforts of the Restoring Family Links program, an initiative in partnership with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) that helps reunite families separated by armed conflict, natural disasters, migration, and other humanitarian crises. Another central part of this mission is advancing awareness of International Humanitarian Law, the set of rules designed to protect civilians and those no longer participating in armed conflict.

Sea Island Habitat Announces New Neighborhood

Sea Island Habitat for Humanity is thrilled to announce that it has successfully reached its campaign goal to fully fund the infrastructure costs for Sweetgrass Preserve, the organization’s upcoming 50-home affordable housing neighborhood on Johns Island. It will be located about a half mile off Main Road on Black Pen Road. Thanks to the extraordinary generosity of the community, these funds were raised in just under one year, accelerating the project’s timeline by years and allowing construction to begin much sooner than anticipated.

Because of this rapid and collective effort, Sea Island Habitat will break ground on Sweetgrass Preserve in 2026, with plans to complete the first nine homes by the end of 2026. Securing infrastructure funding at this pace not only clears the way for site preparation and utility installation but also enables the organization to jump-start vertical construction rather than delaying progress while raising the remaining funds.
