I was waiting to write a blog for quite some time now. I started off many times. But there was something which always pulled me back. I opened SankalpIndia.Net a couple of times and logged out without posting a word. the wish to post came from the emotional high that I went though recently.
Sankalp India Foundation and KPIT Cummins Bangalore will be jointly organising a blood donation drive on 15th February 2011
Time and again, a blood donor has a question coming back to hsi/her mind. What happens to the blood I donate?. Is it used in the right manner?. Are things safe, is this blood bank a good one? Who rates them? How do i know that they follow the right practices?
In days where rallies and demonstrations are more directed towards the unending list of political and financial controversies gripping the nation, one news that catches the eye is something that goes like this "4000 students take part in rally to promote blood donation".
Tsongmo Lake or Changu Lake is a glacial lake in the East Sikkim, India, some 40 kilometres (25 mi) away from Gangtok at altitude of 3,780 m (12,400 ft).The lake is about 1 km. Long, oval in shape, 15 meters deep and is considered sacred by the local people. The lake has charming Alpine forests, which is home to some rare animals like the Red Panda, Brahminy ducks and variety of birds.
It's been close to 4 years now from the time Sankalp India Foundation started organising blood donation drives. Ever since, the most important aspect that has been always the trademark of any Sankalp blood donation drive is the quality factor. Right from the event publicity to the complete handling of the blood donation drive Sankalp has been striving to get better and improve processes and thereby improve quality.
A Sankalp volunteer named Anil had this to say on the 7th Anniversary of the organisation in May 2010. For Anil this was his first year at Sankalp.
