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.
I take this opportunity to invite all my JAAI friends alongwith family members to participate in the GARBA on the St.Xaviers High School grounds ( Ahmedabad ) on 1st October 2011. This is our showcase annually held cultural event, where we have crowds in excess of 10,000 people, which includes Students, Staff, Alumni members, Friends and Guests, a family affair. The APX and the School host this event and it begins at 7.30pm till midnight.
