A Blood Donation Drive was held on the campus of St.Xaviers College Ahmedabad, under the guidance of TOXA ( The Old Xavierites Association ) and umbrella of JAAG. ( Jesuit Alumni Associations of Gujarat ) on Saturday, 1st October. This was part of our National Blood Donation Drive. Many people turned up to support this noble cause, quite a few could not donate blood because of various reasons, this is also where we could tap our students and alumni members in the future, health programs like this would also evaluate our basic health chart. Common reasons are high BP even in youngsters, low haemoglobin, diabetis, depression tablets etc. We could address this at a later stage for a wider horizon healthcare program.
60 units were collected. Earlier the APX ( Association of past Xavierites, St.Xaviers High School Loyola Hall ) organized a blood donation drive on the school campus and over 100 units were collected.
Our Alumni members generously donate blood on a regular basis, and we have more than 50 members who go to donate blood every 3-4 months directly to the blood bank. This is an on-going process.
