I had written about the activities that are undertaken by our company under CISF (Computers International Social Fund) in my personal blog. As part of the yearly activity, we will be organizing the “Blood Donation Camp” on 27th December 2008. This is Eighth year in succession, the camp is being organized and all our staff members are proud to be part of this noble effort. In fact, we started this years earlier and used to have it on 1st January - which used to give a great feeling for all of us to start the New Year with having done a noble deed, but practical reasons have forced to do it towards the end of year. Anyway the timing doesn't matter, it is thinking of giving back to Society which matters, isn't.
Lions Blood Bank has been part of this drive, by organizing their doctors and assistants to come over to our office and be part of this in all these years. The dedication of their staff members is seen to be believed.
The camp will be conducted at our Ganga Office premises from 9:00 a.m on Saturday the 27th December.

We would love to have you and your family members to join us in this effort by volunteering to donate blood. You can also bring your friends who may be interested in donating blood.
Some facts about Blood Donation
- Blood is the most sort-after body part in the world. Demand and supply are slowly drifting further and further apart.
- India’s daily estimated requirement of blood is roughly 40 million units of 250 cc blood packages. Of which only 500,000 units are available.
- Blood cannot be manufactured, there is no substitute – it must come through generous voluntary donors.
- By donating just 350/450ml of blood out of 5-6 litres of blood available in a human body, one can even save 1 to 3 lives.
- Anyone at least 18 years old and weighing 110 pounds or more may donate blood as often as every 56 days.
So if you are a chennaite, please join us to make this get greater momentum.
