RedAlkemi saves lives… organizes blood donation camp

September 14, 2007 – 6:59 am

To save a life is an endeavor most of us hold but hardly get an opportunity to do so. Donating blood and saving lives of many in need is a noble cause which each one of us should contribute towards. Keeping the spirit of life alive, a blood donation camp was organized on 14th Sep at 2pm by the indomitable and enterprising spirit of the RedAlkemi team.

The Rotary and Blood Bank Society Resource center collaborated with our enthusiastic staff and based their camp in the Entertainment Center of the basement of RedAlkemi.With its thoroughly professional team of 2 doctors and about 15 technicians, the basement looked like a mini hospital by itself, keen to make a difference in many lives.

With completely sterilized syringes and equally fresh blood bags, the technicians prepared the arrival of the donors by standing patiently next to each comfortable easy chair with their latest medical apparatus. Slowly poured in youths, elders, men and women from all walks of life, each enthusiastic to save a life by donating their blood. One could see an array of students, professors, corporate officials, service men, housewives, laborers and even senior citizens walking in proudly to contribute towards a social cause. It was indeed very motivating to see how many people took out their precious time and stepped in for giving their blood for the many who may need it at any time.

The Rotary Blood Bank society then gave certificates and a gift to each donor as thanksgiving . Few who were feeling faint after giving blood were given immediate medical aid. Scrumptious refreshments like juices, cold flavored milk, fruits, eggs and biscuits were organized for each donor who walked in an attempt to save a life but left with a feeling of contentment within.

The camp was not simply a Blood Donation Event, it was a humble contribution from RedAlkemi towards mankind and society. God gives us life, we just helped in saving it further.
