My church organized its 5th blood donation campaign today. This is also the first blood donation campaign for this year.
A total of 48 units of blood were donated today. This is a record again! The last blood campaign collected a total of 47 units of blood which was a record also :-)
With this campaign, our church successfully donated 211 units of blood since the first blood donation campaign on 19, September 2007.
The result:
- First campaign: 36 units
- Second campaign: 34 units
- Third campaign: 46 units
- Fourth campaign: 47 units
- Fifth campaign(today) : 48 units (break the earlier record by one only)
We do not expect good response this time because the school is having replacement class today and people are also busy doing Chinese New Year shopping. With this in mind, we are quite satisfied with the turnout today.
Our next blood donation campaign will be held on the 21 August and the last one for this year will be on the 11 December.
Do you have blood to contribute? If yes, take note of the date and see you then :-)
Registration - need to fill a form
Some of the donors
My brother - Richard
Let me press for you - that is the advantage of having a boy friend :-)
Another one who shared the same advantage :-)
Carmen - she had a terrible experience earlier; experiencing dizziness and serious bruises. But she was brave enough to have another one today and everything was fine.
My wife - Angela. She went to school in the morning and donated blood in the afternoon. She didn't sleep well last night because Adriel was disturbing her but the donation was completed smoothly :-)
My niece - Hui Na. She was the last one. I fetched her to the church last minute. Her donation allowed us to break the record - no 48th unit of blood today :-) This is the first time she donated blood. When doctor asked her, "How many hours did you sleep last night?" "From 12:am to 11:am," was the answer. She slept for 11 hours last night!
Hui Na's blood
See you next post :-)
