Shaheed 2008 : One With Bhopal !

Sankalp India Foundation
Let’s Give Life A Better Chance
Bhopal survivors, among the poorest people on earth, sick, living on the edge of starvation, illiterate, without funds, powerful friends or political influence, are willing to risk what remains of their health and livelihoods by walking 850km to Delhi to confront the Prime Minister of India.
All they want is what they were promised two years ago. They are rights that most of us take for granted: water free of poison; medical care; a clean environment and social support. Justice from those who stole their health, their dreams, and the lives of their loved ones.
When politicians break their promises and close their ears, people of conscience must act. Your support is critical.

Work @ Sankalp April 2012

About Sankalp

This summer month of April was one that had plenty of Sankalp events and kept volunteers on their toes through out. Here is a snapshot of what happened.

5 more blood banks joined Disha: The blood helpline of Karnataka has been making a difference in the lives of many patients. A good 40 to 50 blood equests pouring in every day. In an attempt to find the safest unit of blood at the nearest geographical location a bigger and better blood bank network is required. Disha provides that platform.

Disha Goes Online

Disha means direction. Disha was started with the intention to direct patients to the nearest source of safe blood. In doing so, Disha has finally started directing other teams of Sankalp as well.

5 new blood banks joined Disha

3 of the best Blood Banks from Uttara Kannada are now networked to the centralized blood helpline. Pandit Govt Hospital IMA Blood Bank (Sirsi), Shripad Hagde Kadave Blood Bank (Sirsi) and Uttara Kannada Rotary Blood Bank (Kumta) are now a part of Disha. Helpline stickers and posters have also been given to other blood banks of the area.

Shaheed Diwas Long Live Revolution

23rd March 1931, Bhagat Singh, Rajguru and Sukhdev were hanged at Lahore Jail, they gave their lives for country’s freedom which they had dreamt off. Since then, to salute their supreme sacrifice, this day is remembered as Shaheed Diwas.

News Updates for March 2012

Rakta Kranti Bangalore

Owing to the generally good stocks of blood in the blood banks RKB had a moderate month in terms of number of blood donation drives. However, as and when the blood banks called in for a camp, we were able to cater to the need.

A total of 204 units were collected in 6 camps making the total for the year 7300 units.

Rakta Kranti Bangalore

Blood Donation Camp @ Hop On Girls

Rakta Kranti Bangalore

Hop On Gurls is a group of girls who think out of the box. They are a group of girls who have a passion for riding Royal Enfield bullet. They wanted to organise a drive in one of their volunteer's place, in a residential area. Being aware of the possibility of low donor turnout in such outdoor camps, Sankalp, agreed for the drive, considering it a motivational drive for the people of the area.

Technology Revolutions To Give Life A Better Chance!

Technology has become an integral part of life in today’s world. Organisations world over use technology to aid their processes and hence become more effective and sustainable.

Training For Blood Bank Technicians

Sankalp India Foundation started the New Year of the Initiative for Better Blood Banking by organising a training session and meeting for the various blood bank officers, technicians and staff nurses at NIMHANS.

A Special Republic Day @ Sankalp

Library @ the Day Care In India, Republic Day commemorates the date on which the Constitution of India came into force replacing the Government of India Act 1935 as the governing document of India on 26 January 1950. The 26th of January was chosen to honour the declaration of independence of 1930.

Thal Day Care is Up and Running

Blood Donation Organization

ThalDayCare1 With 111 patients on roll as on 1st January 2012 the dreams that the inauguration of the Day Care Center at IGICH on 14th November 2011 took off have already stared finding the sweet taste of realization - never mind if the journey has just begun. Last 45 days have been extremely challenging and yet exciting at the Thal Day Care Centre. With the magnanimous support from the Director and staff at IGICH the facilities being offered to the patients are taking great shape:

The Technological Heaven With a Heart - IISc

In Bangalore city there is a technological heaven. However, this place, The Indian Institute Of Science is also a place where Sankalp can turn to for emergency blood donors. Thank you one and all @ IISC, Bangalore is proud of you!

6 camps held in November

Donate Blood! Six blood donation drives were held in the month of November with 412 units of blood collected. We would like to thank and congratulate Airtel, Deutsche Bank, Hypercity, KPIT and AMD for their continued support to the cause of voluntary blood donation. The volunteer teams at KPIT and AMD did an amazing work with publicity leading to more than 25% of the associates coming forward to donate blood.

Disha Publicity diversified

Networking Blood Banks One daunting question for the Disha team has been - ”Where should one try to publicize the blood help line?” People generally are not sensitive to such information unless they themselves need blood. With limited means, we decided to put up the stickers where we felt patients will look for help the most - in the hospitals.

Shortage of Rare Blood Groups

"A whooping 91 blood requests came to the emergency wing of Sankalp in the month of November. We would have taken this as a bad mark on the availability of blood and voluntary blood donation normally; however, closer look at requests portrayed a different picture.
