    This is indeed a good drive for a great cause, but do you really think 90 is a "mega" number? I see there are more pictures and participants here than would have been the number of donors!

    Well done donors.. and all who arranged this camp, special thanks to Mr. Pascal D'sa. I remember him during my college days how he used to encourage to donate blood and whenever someone in need of blood used to send students from college. Also keeping track of every donor with complete database and in emergencies contact them even after college days. I can't forget that day when my mom was in hospital and needed rare blood group (even Manipal blood bank people told us NO)within 24 hours Mr. D'sa arranged for all donors, personally bought them to Manipal in his vehicle. That day I realised the value of blood donation. Hats off to you Sir for your service to our society. Once again thanks to all.. keep us the good work.
