Growing up, George J Kundrat always knew he wanted to do something different. At the age of 16, he began to take classes with the American Red Cross. These included CPR, First Aid, Disaster Response, babysitting, lifeguarding, and pathogen training. With his knowledge and training, he became a teacher for Red Cross himself. He has taught all the courses that he previously learned.

When the earthquake hit Haiti in 2010, he was part of the initial response team that was sent by the Red Cross. As a proponent of the Mission Statement, which states that the Red Cross was born out of the desire “to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavors—in its international and national capacity—to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found”, George provided his unconditional physical, moral, and financial support to those affected by the quake.

In his personal life, George is a very silent yet strong person. He is resilient, and believes that one must be the change that one wants to see in the world.
