Y'ello Care programme...a volunterism campaign of our company that involves every employee to community building projects...of helping those who are in need.
Personally, it re-affirms my commitment (as an active Boy Scout in my younger years) to help other people at all times. Last week has been my ninth recorded blood donation with the Red Cross and Red Crescent, in addition to the undocumented blood "gifts" provided to friends and relatives during hospital visits.
Last week's blood letting though is also a personal milestone as I have suppased the 3,000 ml mark....and still more to come. Yes, that's more than 3 liters of my blood flowing on other peoples veins. Here goes the count...
- 16 February 1990 - 250ml
- 10 February 1995 - 250ml
- 14 August 1996 - 250ml
- 17 April 1998 - 250ml
- 22 July 1998 - 250ml
- 12 February 2000 - 450ml
- 21 February 2002 - 450ml
- 24 Mordad 1386 (Persian Calendar) - 450ml [Note: 15 August 2007]
- 22 Khordar 1387 (Persian Calendar) - 450ml [Note: 11 June 2008]
It has been said that..."If you donate money, you give food! If you donate blood, you give Life!!!"
