Blood Drive at NIS
Donating blood in my opinion is one of the most altruistic gestures you can make. It is completely voluntary, you do not know who will it benefit and statistically is guaranteed to save lives. I have donated blood in all the countries I have lived.
I wish to think with that small gesture I have given back to them for all the wonderful times I have spent in foreign lands.
As part of our new strategic goal of “Bursting the Bubble” with the help of our wonderful Admissions Team, we are organising a Blood Drive at NIS.
The idea is to have a blood donation station on Campus for a day in the hope that all healthy adults can take 30 minutes or so out of their busy schedule to donate blood…and save lives. Chinese authorities have been extremely helpful and will provide the medical personnel for the blood drive.
Not everybody can, particularly if you have been exposed or ill, for example with Hepatitis. Only adults (over 18 years old) can donate blood.
There are some formalities to adhere to, including filling in a detailed questionnaire to check if you qualify to donate blood. If you are interested you can download the form via this link https://share.nanjing-school.com/dailybulletin/files/2015/11/BloodDonation-Form-2hy84ae.pdf or pick up a hard copy at the Reception in the Centre. Kindly register your interest by sending a message to janedai@nanjing-school.com by Wednesday 9th December.
I hope you can join us on Tuesday, December 15th. Together we can save many lives. More information and a detailed schedule coming soon.
