Given above is one of the catch phrases that did the rounds at a Blood donation Camp organized, a few days back, by the Net Impact Club at ISB. This phrase here is not to signify that someone actually came to donate blood enticed by a frooti, a brand of mango drink offered after blood donation, but just to underscore the fun that all associated with the event had organizing the camp and mobilizing people for it.
The camp was organized in collaboration with Red Cross and was a stupendous success with around 207 volunteers, including students, faculty and staff, donating blood. A number of 207 donations in just one day is no mean task and all credit for achieving this goes to the dedicated souls working for the Net Impact club.
There was one thing, however, that really surprised me about the organisation of this entire event. The team working for it i.e. the members of the Net Impact Club, did not have an officially designated leader (the elections for the Clubs are still to be held) and yet everything moved as efficiently as efficient can be. In the absence of a formally elected leader or a proper official structure for the club, it was surprising in the first place to see this activity actually being taken up and then more surprising to see the activity being turned into a huge success. This would not have been possible without tremendous dedication and team spirit within the members of the Net Impact Club. A big hurrah to you all!
I could not help them out in organizing as I had a lot of studying to do. But then who in ISB does not need to study? That these people, who organized the camp, chose to sacrifice their personal benefit (by not studying) for the benefit of the overall community speaks for their commitment levels.
P.S. The post on CP that I promised in my last blog, was in the pipeline but there has been a temporary break-down in the pipeline due to the scheduled end term exams. The post shall reach us as soon as the break-down is resolved.

We make an appeal to the vast Online Community to come forward and register themselves as Blood Donors. Blood Donation is the biggest donation in the world. As we all know, tragedy occurs every other day and we hear about blood shortages. We cannot let people die short of blood. Our blood can give life to someone, someday. Hence, it is our duty as an Indian to stand up to the situation. Netinfobase has thus started an effort where you can register yourself as an Blood Donor and be helpful to our nation in the testing times.
