Chandigarh 07th October: --- Hallmark Public School, organized a Blood Donation Camp at its premises. The Chief Guest on the occasion was Sunil Talwar, Deputy Mayor, MC, Panchkula while the Guest of honour was Davinder Kumar Neetu, President, City Club of Blood Donors & Social Welfare, Kotkapura(Pb). In the Camp 223 people registered & 147 Units of Blood was collected. It is also to be noteworthy that Neetu has donated blood 70 times and has been a Regular State Awardee from Punjab, since 2006 for his services. The Medical team from Rotary Blood Bank Society, Sec 37 Chandigarh conducted the blood donation camp.
The highlight at the camp was the parents of Hallmarkites that too donated blood; their children supported the cause by being present with them. The donors were awarded with souvenirs and certificates to make the event memorable for them. The tag line at the camp was 'Be a Proud Donor'.
According to Sunil Talwar, Deputy Mayor, MC, that it is heartening to see a school stepping ahead and organising such a camp. If all schools and educational institutions emulate the example set by Hallmark, a lot can be achieved in this regard.
Jivtesh Garg, Director, Hallmark Public School, Panchkula, said that tears and excuses never save a life, however your blood can. So taking out a few minutes out to donate blood can add a lifetime to somebody. Mrs. Kavita Wadhwa, Principal, Hallmark Public School said that the School has been organizing such a camp every year for the last three years. The response has been very encouraging and this is what keeps all of us going.
