In a noble gesture to honour the Indian Army and save precious lives, the Yogiraj Sarkar Godariwale Trust, organized a successful Blood Donation Camp on April 7, 2024. The event took place at the Sri Sanatan Dharam Mandir Community Hall, Block D2, B.K. Dutt Colony, New Delhi.
The ethos of the Indian Army, characterized by discipline and exemplary work ethics, inspired approximately 160 donors to come forward and contribute to the cause. Despite the overwhelming response, the camp adhered to the principle of collecting blood units only as per the projected requirement for the day, amassing a total of 120 units.
The Trust, guided by its core principle of "First Serve Then Deserve," has been serving the community for several years. The active participation of all volunteers was recognized and appreciated by the Commanding Officer of AFTC, Col Sunita BS. One standout volunteer, Mr. Prateesh Gandhi, who has donated blood 36 times, epitomizes the spirit of service.
With a resolution to donate blood at least four times a year for anyone in need, Mr. Gandhi's dedication exemplifies the altruistic values upheld by the Trust. Commanding Officer Dr. Col Sunita lauded Mr. Gandhi's contribution to society, emphasizing the invaluable nature of blood donation.
And appreciated everyone present there, "Blood is one such thing that cannot be bought," remarked Dr. Col Sunita. "You cannot go out to buy it but can only be donated. That is why, in times of war or conflict when a soldier needs blood, your contribution to this blood drive becomes crucial. Your donation not only supports the soldier but also serves the nation."
The Trust expresses its gratitude to all participants, and volunteers for their unwavering support in making the Blood Donation Camp a resounding success. Such collaborative efforts underscore the power of collective action in serving the community and upholding the values of compassion and solidarity.
Yogiraj Sarkar Godariwale Trust has also been felicitated with certificate of Appreciation by Artemis Hospital for sponsoring several paediatric cardiac surgeries for underprivileged in past 2 years.
