Pakistan Red Crescent Society commemorates
the Independence Day and honors the sacrifices of the Shuhada
of August 14th by organization of the Blood Donation Camp.
The aim of this camp is to inspire the people with the spirit
of volunteering for the service of humanity and Pakistan.
It is to create awareness that every one of us can make a
difference by individually donating blood needed for emergencies,
terminally ill patients and other sick people. Collectively
we should renew our commitment to the Voluntary Service of
Pakistan. Moreover it is to constructively channelise the
activities of the youth so that it develops a sense of responsibility
in them. In addition it is to inform the public on Blood Safety
and prevention of the spread of Transfusion Transmitted Diseases
(Hepatitis B, C & HIV), waylaying the superstitions &
fears with regard to blood donation and highlighting the benefits
of Blood Donation.
Boy Scouts, students of local universities/colleges and students
of Head Start & Lahore Grammar School will be involved
in giving motivational talk to the public and giving voluntary
blood donations.
