The second blood donation drive for MSRMBDS was held on saturday (4/10/08). The response was good and 26 units were collected (against the permitted 20units). The permitted number of units was less this time, because of the annual blood donation drive being organised next month in MSRIT.
The second blood donation drive this semester for M.S.Ramaiah Memorial Blood Donation Services (MSRMBDS) will be held in MSRIT this Saturday (04/10/08). The expected number of units to be collected are around 30.
MSRIT students have championed the cause of blood donation for quite some time. They have been they font line torch bearers to ensure no one suffers due to shortage of blood. They are the exceptional ones, for where else will you be able to arrange a blood donation drive every fortnight.
The baton is being passed. When Sankalp was born, people doubted the number of days that it would continue to work. When Sankalp volunteers passed out of MSRIT, there were doubting Thomamses who believed that there is little to expect from MSR Memorial Blood Donation Services. After a year, when the last of the Sankalp senior volunteers are on the verge of passing out of MSRIT, they are continuing the tradition. They are passing the baton handed over to them by their seniors in college. They are passing on the responsibility of keeping the work going.
MSR Memorial Blood Donation Services hit yet another milestone. MSR Hotel Management College conducted the 3rd blood donation camp in 6 months becoming the first college to have executed the small and regular camp strategy throughout the organization.
It happened on 3rd October, 2007 the only remaining year of MSRHMC came forward to donate blood. A total of 24 units were collected of the 29 donors who came to donate. As always, the Hotel Management College was full of energy and enthusiasm preparing to give life a better chance.
Blood Donation by students of MSRMC May 26th, 2007
The Saturday, May 26, 2007 held a very special importance for the students of MSRMC. For the first time they became active partners in the process of ensuring blood for all. Sankalp Volunteers were there in the class by 9:30. A short announcement brought in about 12 donors immediately. The number was good enough for one batch of blood donation. The enthusiastic students proceeded to M S Ramaiah Blood Bank for the donation.
