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.

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.

Gillete, in a recent initiative, located citizens from nook and corners of India, who have done simple but inspiring work. They presented the Blade Of Honour award to citizen soldiers who have contributed to the society with their soldierly values.

Even as Sankalp's Disaster Management and Mitigation Wing worked through the highs and lows of the disaster prone Sikkim, Sankalp's Blood Donation Wing scaled new heights this September with Rakta Kranti and Disha achieving new personal landmarks. Here is a snapshot of Sankalp BDO for Sep 2011

Rakta Kranti:

Sankalp celebrated completing 8 years since its inception on 23rd May 2003. With all rigor, the Volunteers started the preparations weeks before the Anniversary function. This year, the function for all the well-wishers and Sankalp friends was held on 21sy May in the seminar hall of M. S. Ramaiah Institute of Technology, from 2pm to 4pm. The program that began with the singing of Vande Mataram was packed with cultural events including song and dance and also a rich set of presentations and talks highlighting Sankalp's journey over the last year.

On the second of April as the nation rejoiced the triumph of the Indian cricket team at the biggest stage in cricket, volunteers of Sankalp had another reason to celebrate. Sankalp India Foundation had a few hours earlier won the Spirit of Humanity Awards 2011 for being one of the committed NGOs working in the healthcare sector.
