Hi,
To appreciate "Regular Blood Donors" who are donating blood regularly for Thalassemia Children and to create more awareness about Blood Donations, this year, we introduced "BEST BLOOD DONOR APPRECIATION AWARDS". We have conducted 13 blood donation camps till now, in which one is at Ananthapuramu and another is at ECIL, excluding these total camps are 11. Our Management Board decided to select those who Donated blood regularly for more than 7 Times out of 11 in all camps or who donated 4 times in our last 5 camps. Fortunately we got 10 members, who are regularly doing it. There is no word to appreciate their dedication in regular blood donations to save little Thalassemia children.
From Next year, our criteria to select "Best Blood Donor" will be those who donated 4 out of 4 Camps. Generally we conduct blood camp for every 3 months, so in a year we can conduct 4 Camps. So the persons who donate blood in all the camps will be our BEST DONOR. Little Thalassemia Child knows how important ONE UNIT OF BLOOD is (either 1 time or regular) and ASWA & TSCS knows how difficult to find that 1 donor. From this you can analyze how valuable a person, who is DONATING BLOOD REGULARLY. We feel it's the right stage and right time to express our gratitude to all the regular blood donors, on behalf of little Thalassemia children. This is the story behind these "BEST BLOOD DONOR APPRECIATION AWARDS". It's not possible for us to appreciate others who donate directly in the Thalassemia Society or somewhere else, as we don't have data for those donations.
For us every donor and volunteer is equal and important, these awards are just to recognize the persons who stretched with an extra inch. ASWA is always proud to have those Blood Donors and volunteers with us. Hope all our Blood Donors will motivate more Blood Donors for the next camps.
Thalassemia Society have 2000+ Children who needs blood transfusion for every 10-15 Days, means they totally need 4000 units of Blood. Just imagine how many camps we need to conduct to reduce the deficit. So this is the right time for all of us to work collectively for a common and noble cause.
Let us decide and start of donating blood regularly for every 3 months from our end, we don't requires thousands to react at a time, our 1 initiation initially gives 15 more days life to a Thalassemic child.
You all know "Blood cannot be manufactured. It can only come as a gift from people like you."
