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.

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. The volunteers of Hop On Gurls had done adequate publicity of the drive before hand by printing posters, informing friends, approaching media and heavy publicity through social media.
