BLOOD DONATION CAMPAIGN

On the 13th of July, Saturday, Kelab Kasih Sayang (AKS) which consists of me and my family members organized a blood donation campaign. The theme of the campaign held was "With A Drop Of Blood, You Can Make A Difference, Give Blood Save Lives".  A blood donation is done when a person voluntarily allows their blood to be drawn by doctors to be used for transfusion for those in need of the blood. For an example, people who need blood are those who have met in an accident and suffered blood loss, those who have a liver disease and their body cannot produce sufficient blood for themselves or people who lack in red blood cells, white blood cells or platelets.

The blood donation campaign was held at 1100 hours on Saturday morning till 1700 hours in AEON Co (M) Sdn Bhd, Bandar Baru Permas Jaya, Plentong, Johor. The campaign organized was collaborated with Hospital Sultan Ismail, Johor and inaugurated by Datuk Seri Mohamed Khaled Nordin who was the 15th Menteri Besar of Johor. Some other VIP's were also invited to join us for the campaign. At 0900 hours that morning, we and the nurses from the hospital we already at the shopping mall setting up the area. Banners and posters were set up around the place. After the arrival of the VIP's at around 1130 hours, the opening ceremony began with some speeches and continued with the VIP's themselves donating blood. During this time, flyers were distributed around to attract those interested to donate some blood and also to create awareness of the campaign being held to those who didn't know.

At around 1630 hours, the registration corner for the blood donation closed. Later after all the blood donation was done, the blood bags were counted and kept in cases and the rubbish were collected and kept in special plastic bags both provided by the hospitals. Once everybody was done donating, the chairs were all put away and the place was cleared. It was a successful campaign and we definitely hope to do more campaigns as such to help those in need. 

Lastly, many more campaigns, not only blood donation, should be encouraged to be organized to help those in need as there are many people who are suffering from a diversity of problems and need our help. Acts like donation blood, food or clothes to homes, or charity can be a great deal to others. These small things will put a smile on their faces and their families which will give us the satisfaction like no other.
