TNTJ's Republic day celebration in a Unique Manner
On the Eve of 63rd Republic Day of India, Riyadh chapter of Tamil Nadu
Thowheed Jamaath (TNTJ), a social organisation from the southern Indian state of
Tamil Nadu, has planned to conduct a massive Blood Donation Drive, 16th time of
this nature, in association with King Fahad Medical city (KFMC) hospital - blood
bank in Riyadh on 20.01.2012, Friday.
TNTJ has organised many such blood donation campaigns in King Fahad Medical
city hospital, King Faisal Specialist hospital as well as in Riyadh military
hospital.
TNTJ is a group of Tamil-Speaking people whose aim is to serve the people
in whatever possible means. The voluntary donors shall include mothers from
Tamil Nadu whose husbands working in the Kingdom.
Already a call has gone out for people to donate blood that could help save
the lives of many people in need, in an emergency.
The event is open to all nationals. Lunch has been arranged for the
donors.
In previous years, TNTJ had celebrated "Indian Independence Day" by
organising blood donation camps during the week of Aug 15.
Volunteers will transport the donors to the hospital and back.
Donating blood is a fast and simple procedure. Blood donors can donate up
to 450 ml of blood (one unit) every three months; this amount is small, given
that the body contains five to six liters (10 to 12 units) of blood. The full
blood donation procedure, takes no more than 15 to 20 minutes. Would-be donors
are encouraged to visit King Fahad Medical City - Blood Bank via Makkah Road -
(Service Road) Entrance No. 1.
Each donor will undergo clinical tests for blood pressure, Sugar,
Haemoglobin count etc. before the donation. Blood bank will also check which
includes diseases communicable by blood transfusion.
"The noble act of donating blood will not only give a new lease of life to
many, it also heightens our common sense of social responsibility by serving the
humanitarian and social needs of our local communities," the spokesman
said.
We are guided by the Quranic teaching that says..." and if any one saved
the life; it would be as if he saved the life of the whole people..." (Al-Quran
5:32) - TNTJ says.
This campaign starts at 9 AM to ends by 5 PM.
