Over 40 people from different companies and organisations as well as other individuals responded positively to a call by the Lions Club to give blood and save the life of a person in need.
The Blood Transfusion Centre (BTC) of the Seychelles Hospital is always in need of blood and the Lions Club is one of many organisations that each year mobilises as many people as possible to respond to this essential need.
Employees from Shreeji Construction, Pillay R group and other companies responded to the call and were happy to be able to give a helping hand.
Lion D.V. Sharma said the turnout was good and very encouraging for the activity held in partnership with the Ministry of Health and the Red Cross Society of Seychelles.
He added that it is always touching to see that people always respond to such a call to perform a compassionate and life-saving gesture, and the fact that from the over 50 individuals who turned up more than 40 qualified after screening, was in itself good.
On behalf of Lions Club he expressed heartfelt gratitude to everyone who responded positively for their usual cooperation and faithful response to the call to perform a gesture to save a life.
