[ Noakhali Online Group ] Blood Donors Have Willingly Taken a Social Responsibility on Their Shoulders: Speakers Say in the 35th Life-long Blood Donor Felicitation Program

Blood donors do not donate blood for any material benefit. They donate blood – a part of themselves- because they consider it one of the noblest forms of charity. And by doing so they have taken a social responsibility on their shoulders. Professor Dr. M. Rijwan Khan, Vice Chancellor, United International University (UIU), said while addressing as Chief Guest in the 35th Hundred Life-long Blood Donor Felicitation Program held on August 16. He said that it is our duty to save the patients whose lives are in danger: Thalassaemia patients, for example.. But although each of us carry blood in our bodies, it is very difficult to get reliable blood supply. This in not due to any physical problems but mental barriers, he added.  Madame Nahar El Bukhari, Chief Coordinator of the Voluntary Blood Donation Program, Quantum Foundation, chaired the program. She said that the life long blood donors have fulfilled the first portion of Monchobi (dream) 2025, Quantum Foundation's dream of transforming Bangladesh into a great humanitarian nation. Those who come forward to donate blood have proved that they have enough compassion to be members of such a society, she said.  82 people, all of whom have donated blood at least three times and are committed to donate life-long, were honored in the program,. UIU and Agroshor Pathagar a library based social organization) from Mirpur were honored for their contribution in the voluntary blood donation movement. Professor Khan and Md. Mahmud Alam received crests on behalf of their organizations.
