UP NRI Forum-Kuwait, established in 2015 is now one of the premier social and charitable organization representing people from across Uttar Pradesh (India), residing in Kuwait. We undertake various Social, Charitable and Cultural activities e.g. Indian Independence Day Celebration, Free Health Check-up / Guidance Camps, Blood Donation Camps, Cultural and Social Meets etc., since inception of the Forum.
In continuation of the same, a Blood Donation Camp was organised by the UP NRI Forum (UPNRIFK) in association with Aligarh Muslim University Old Boys' Association (AMUOBA) on the Friday May 03rd-2024. The AMU Old Boys’ Association (AMUOBA), Kuwait Chapter is for the Alumni of Aligarh Muslim University (AMU) residing in Kuwait. This is non-political, non-profitable organization devoted exclusively to educational, literary, cultural, social & community services activities.
Blood Donation Camp was conducted at Adan Hospital Blood Bank Branch, Kuwait, from Afternoon 1 pm to 6pm, attracting an impressive turnout of 86 donors. However, only 45 units of blood were collected as few of the donors were rejected due to travel history and medical grounds. In a remarkable display of community spirit and generosity, the donors showcased their unwavering commitment to saving lives through their selfless act of donating blood.
The event was graced by the presence of the Second Secretary (Community Affairs & Association), Mr. Harit Ketan Shelat from Indian Embassy. Mr. Shelat acknowledged the vital role played by blood donors in the healthcare system and expressed his gratitude to the donors for their generosity. Other prominent Indian dignitaries also attended the Camp to donate the blood and inspire others for the same.
Behind the scenes, a dedicated team of volunteers worked tirelessly to ensure the smooth execution of the Blood Donation Camp. These selfless individuals and their family members organized and managed the event, ensuring that each donor had a positive and comfortable experience. From registration to post-donation care, the volunteers diligently oversaw every aspect of the camp, demonstrating their exceptional commitment to the noble cause. The Hospital Staff fully cooperated with the volunteers and donors and executed the transfusion process in a truly professional manner.
The Blood Donation Camp left a lasting impact on both the organizers and the donors, reaffirming the power of collective action in bringing about positive change. The event not only replenished the blood banks but also raised awareness about the ongoing need for blood donation drives to save lives.
As the volunteers and organizers of the event under leadership of both UP NRI Forum's President Dr. Mohan Ram & AMUOBA’s President Mr. Aslam Parvez reflect on their accomplishments, they express gratitude to all the Blood Donors, Forum's EC Members & Volunteers, Camp Sponsors BEC Currency Exchange and Associate Organiser AMUOBA and their dedicated team members for their staunch support. Their combined efforts have undoubtedly made a difference in the lives of those in need of blood transfusions.
The Grand Success of this Blood Donation Camp serves as a reminder that, together, we can make a significant impact and bring hope to those facing medical emergencies.
