Noteworthy Comments

"It being my first time donating blood it felt special. Although I was one among the hundreds of people who donated blood, forme it was an experience of rising above my fear and playing my part . It made me feel strong and satisfied. I suggest every person should donate blood , you really feel genuine happiness."

- Anuprita Kaple (Blood Donor)

"The satisfaction to work for society itself is the catalyst forworking for the event. Working with army personnel and doctors was itself a great experience. Who knows betterthe importance of Blood than a O- person."

- Archit Hadge (Blood-D volunteer)

Blood D gives you that feeling .It was my first time , I was a bit nervous but it came out to be an amazing experience at the end ! I remember dragging myfriends fordonating blood because whynot ? This small thing can make a huge difference so why not give back the world in even the smallest possible ways."
