School Name: Ambedkar School
Address: Rajajinagar
The end of the last phase happened at Ambedkar Vidyalaya. And what a way to end the phase. A large group of students await to witness the awareness program. And the challenge the volunteers are made to face is that the whole program has to be explained in Kannada as it was a Kannada medium school.
Skit and informative talk: 16th February, 2009 After having a tough day of performing at different schools, the volunteers had made enough preparation to make sure the students got the message delivered to themself in the right medium of speech with no trouble of miscommunication. A huge number of students had gathered in a big classroom. It was a little difficult to manage the noise created by the students but it added to the enthusiasm of the program and the whole program went on with no drop in energy. We did not expect a huge number of students to ask doubts but all the students had many doubts which really amazed on the quality and the quantity of questions. At a point it reached almost that every student had a question to put across but nevertheless it was very inspiring and thought provoking to answer them.

Blood donation is the best of all donations. Like how every vehicle requires petrol or diesel to run, similarly every human requires blood to survive, blood runs through every part of our body and is necessary for normal functioning. This blood can be given to humans only by humans. So please donate blood and save lives. It costs you nothing. - Dore Swamy 10th std
