ACTIVITY REPORT

It has been an immense pleasure for us, The Youth Red Cross Club of Sigma College of Architecture in serving the society with ample efforts for its betterment. As a part of our agenda we took the privilege in commencing the blood donation camp at our campus. The objective of which was to establish the need and importance of blood donation among the students community, to provide an insight of the benefits achieved by this event and to improve the welfare of the society.

The event commenced at 9:00 AM by testing the blood group and the blood count to analyze the eligibility of participants. Surprisingly, a few interested students were disappointed to be unable to donate their blood. This in-turn made them realize the importance of healthy life. The eligible candidates were appreciated for their active participation and were provided with energy bars and drink towards the end of the event.

Our strategies were met effectively with the complete involvement of the students as they were thrived by the enthusiasm to learn on listening to the motivational speech by The Blood Bank Medical Officer, Dr. S. Caroline Geetha, MBBS, DPC, M.H.A.

Heartfelt thanks to the organizers of this event and the Blood Bank team who amidst their busy schedule, dedicated their time in administrating the event with utmost care and nursing.
