I look around the world today and what do I see? I see women and mostly children who die avoidable deaths. A large women who go into labour die due to incesssant loss of blood. Many innocent children die due to blood related diseases. MOST of these deaths can be avoided if YOU & I make "LOVE & SACRIFICE" our watchword through voluntary blood donation. Donate Blood today, Safe a life.

This is an outstanding campaign throughout the world! You are true and I agree that a lot of people in emergency situation die of loos of blood. Here in the hospital i am working (in the Philippines) many vehicular accidents happen everyday, and most of them requires emergency surgeries but sometimes operation can't be performed due to lack of a certain blood type in the bank. Health sectors are always campaigning of voluntary blood donation but looks like the people don't have the heart for that. Let us share our blood!

I am proud to say that I am a regular blood donor, I donate my blood a couple of times a year. I didn't start too long ago, but I already feel that I have helped people. It's good to know, that if I am ever going to need somebody's blood, I will be supplied with it.

hi, many donate blood its not that one shows back when asked to help a dieing person .Its only that the blood donated should reach the person who is needed.Many organisations have comeup as blood banks but many now also do pay and buy .So mothers who conceive should see that they are ready for giving a healthy baby birth and look after their health by eating good adn healthy food on time.

I was able to donate blood through my company's annual blood drive. Because of that I found out that I'm a B+. If a lot of people would consider donating their blood it can truly save lives. It's also a plus that donating blood helps our own body to produce new blood to replace what went out of our bodies. I think that's a win-win situation for us.
