The CBSUA (Central Bicol State University of Agriculture) witnessed a demonstration of compassion and solidarity as the National Services Training Program (NSTP) organized a highly successful blood donation drive on May 14, 2023.
Spearheaded by the three program components, the Reserve Officers Training Corps (ROTC), Literacy Training Service (LTS), and Civic Welfare Training Service (CWTS), the event drew active participation from 57 students who selflessly donated their blood to contribute to this life-saving cause.
Partnering with the Bicol Medical Center (BMC), the blood donation drive welcomed Mr. Joemy Carpio, Nurse/Donor Recruitment Officer at the BMC Blood Bank. Mr. Carpio took the stage and delivered an informative talk on the immense significance of blood within our bodies. He emphasized how blood plays a vital role in sustaining life and the dire need for regular blood donations to meet medical emergencies and transfusion requirements.
The event commenced with a warm welcome remark from Ms. Christine Allen Riza N. Boncodin, CWTS- LTS Coordinator. Ms. Boncodin expressed her heartfelt appreciation for the students’ย commitment to giving back to the community through their blood donations. She highlighted the critical importance of their selfless act, as it directly contributes to saving lives and bringing hope to those in need.
Under the careful supervision of trained medical professionals from the Bicol Medical Center, each student underwent a comprehensive screening process to ensure their eligibility and suitability as blood donors. Once cleared, the students proceeded to donate their blood, demonstrating their dedication to making a positive impact on the lives of others.
Dr. Melchora V. Abonal, the Director of NSTP, delivered the closing message. Dr. Abonal acknowledged the outstanding efforts of the students and emphasized the profound impact of their contributions. She praised their unwavering dedication to the cause and encouraged them to continue engaging in such noble endeavors that promote a healthier and more compassionate society.
The blood donation drive organized by CBSUA-NSTP program served as a catalyst for raising awareness about the importance of blood donation. By collaborating with the Bicol Medical Center, the event not only educated participants about the significance of their contributions but also facilitated the collection of a substantial number of blood units that have the potential to save countless lives in the future. | ๐๐ฆ๐ฑ๐ฐ๐ณ๐ต ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐ฑ๐ฉ๐ฐ๐ต๐ฐ๐ด ๐ง๐ณ๐ฐ๐ฎ ๐๐ช๐ข๐ฏ๐ข ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ฆ ๐๐ข๐ณ๐ณ๐ฆ๐ต๐ต๐ฐ ๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ ๐๐ฃ๐ช๐จ๐ข๐ฆ๐ญ ๐๐ฐ๐ด๐ฆ ๐๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ช๐ด, ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ข๐ค๐ถ๐ญ๐ต๐บ ๐๐ข๐ค๐ช๐ญ๐ช๐ต๐ข๐ต๐ฐ๐ณ๐ด
