STUDENTS SCALE NOBLE HEIGHTS
A blood donation camp was organised at St Xavier's College of Education for BEd students last Thursday.
Holy Family Hospital, Kurji, joined hands with the institution on the initiative. A team headed by Reena Ranjan, medical officer in charge of the hospital, came to the premises to conduct the camp.
Madhu Singh, a faculty member, explained to the students the advantages of donating blood and also how it was a way to help the needy.
Principal Father Thomas Perumalil said: "Donating blood is noble because we do not know who we are donating it to most of the time. I am happy that every year our trainees donate blood."
Around 40 trainee teachers registered to donate blood and 19 of them were declared fit to do so.
Sindhu Verghese, one of the donros, said: "I try to donate blood whenever I know someone is in need, it helps me to serve society."
Another student, Nidhi said: "I am really happy to donate blood. It feels good to know that I can save lives."
Prince Charles, another teacher trainee, said: "I feel proud to donate blood to someone who I don't know. May the person live long."
Faculty members Vikramjeet Singh and media in-charge Deep Kumar encouraged the students in the initiative.
