WAVE of humanity: Blood Donation Camp at WAVE City
We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.’ – Winston Churchill Blood, as we know, is the life-maintaining fluid that gives life and helps in healthy growth of human body. It cannot be manufactured and hence, can only be passed on from one person to the other, when need be. It is a gift that saves lives and is irreplaceable. To top it all, blood as whole and as well as its individual components: Red Blood cells, White Blood cells and Plasma have their own importance and required at different point and time. Everybody is somebody’s blood type in this world, blood groups – A, B, AB and O (positive / negative) and you never know when it is required in someone’s dire need. We thought, it’s better to make that first move and transfer the message to others to join us in an effort to transform lives through blood donation as The Ponty Chadha Foundation organised its blood donation camp at WAVE City on 31st July. Be Considerate, Be a Donor If you are young, you are eligible for donating blood at least 25 times in a lifetime. A pint of blood can be helpful in saving lives of at least three people. Apart from that, blood donors help those who go through pregnancy complications, accidental injuries and cancer etc. We urge you to do not waste time and utilize the opportunity to feel valued and worthy of giving life to the ailing. You can do it any way and it does not matter if your donation is directed or autologous (obtained from the same individual), homologous (someone having the close relation) or as a replacement donor.
