The SSL along with Malhar 2010 organised the blood drive on the 4th and 5th of August. The Mahatma Gandhi Memorial Hospital played a vital role in our success as the blood bank and medical experts. They were very gracious for accepting our timings and working from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. on both days.
The first day recorded a whopping 242 donors. Food and souvenir stalls were running non-stop, managed by efficient volunteers. Donors were provided with snacks and goodies afterwards. Those who stuck around after witnessed some amazing performances by volunteers. The encouragement of the audience made the already enthusiastic volunteers work with more zest.
The second day ended with 139 more donors which brought the event total to a record breaking 381 bottles of blood. The volunteers and project secretaries deserve all credit for doing everything in their power to ensure a safe and fun atmosphere even though their job was rather solemn. The Blood Drive was a great success and provided a much needed ray of sunshine to the children suffering from Thalassemia, to whom the blood was donated.
