Donate Blood Gift Life....!!



The Chiripal Group has organized a voluntary Blood Donation Camp on the 14th and 15thof July 2011, at various Shanti Educational Institutes and Chiripal Industries’ premises.
Theappalling shortage in blood banks has motivated the Chiripal Group of Industries to step forward again to address this need. With 500 plus donors in 2009, a 1000 plus donors in 2010, this humanitarian endeavor is hoping to achieve a record withmore than 2000 donors this year!
Voluntary Blood Donors receive a “Priority Voucher” which assures that they receive blood without replacement from Prathama (Blood Bank) within a period of 1 year, when they need it for themselves or immediate family members.

Essential Information regarding Blood Donation:

 The donor should be between 18 to 60 years of age, weighing 50 kg or more, having a normal pulse rate and blood pressure, and a minimum haemoglobin of 12.5g/dL.
 The donor should not have been afflicted with a major ailment in the past one year.
 It’s very safe to donate blood. The fluid part of blood gets replenished within minutes, cells within a few days and the iron stores in a few weeks.
 A light refreshment is suggested before donating blood. If one has just taken a meal, it is advisable to wait for 15-30 minutes.
 More than 3 lives can be saved with one unit of donated blood, as it is separated into blood components like Red Cells, Plasma & Platelets.

A small offering on your part may be the greatest gift for someone else.

Donate Blood, Gift Life.
