Rajkot Voluntary Blood
Bank & Research Centre has many proud moments to cherish during this saga
of 32 years of humanitarian services. One of them is the kindness and
association of Mrs. Jaya Bachchan as Chairperson, Blood Donor Movement. On 9th
April, 2013, she entered in the 65th year of her electrifying life.
It was a great pleasure for
entire Project ‘Life’ family to celebrate 65th Birthday of Mrs. Jaya Bachchan. In
spite of almost three decades of advanced research and millions of dollars of
investments, modern day science has not been able to produce the equivalent of
human blood in the laboratory. Every day in Rajkot city and around, few hundred
patients need blood or blood components. Unless one healthy individual gives
blood voluntarily and regularly, the needy patients cannot get it in time.
There is a continuous need to increase awareness regarding importance of the
voluntary blood collection.
To promote voluntary blood
collection, Smt. Jaya Bachchan in association with Project ‘Life’ worked hard for
more than two decades.
Celebration of the 65th
Birthday of Jayaji was conceived in such a way that it could make her happy. The
Rajkot Voluntary Blood Bank & Research Center invited on phone their voluntary,
non-remunerated bloodgivers who are a part of RVBB family. The RVBB & RC
awarded all the voluntary blood-givers who gave blood during the function a
special kit as a token of appreciation. The kit was made up of a utility pouch,
a pen, a diary and a key-chain with the image of Lord Ganesha having a
motivational message to give blood and special certificates. Bloodgivers received
two certificates, one was exclusively designed for the birthday celebration
with a photograph of Jayaji and another with the photograph of the blood-givers
giving blood. To mark the 65th Birthday, 65 bloodgivers gave blood.
Also to send bloodgivers feelings and wishes to Jayaji, a special placard was
placed at the camp-sites, where blood givers put their messages and wishes for
Jayaji with their signatures.
RVBB&RC enjoys
leadership of Mrs. Jaya Bachchan for its Blood Donor Motivation Drive. This was
the occasion of sharing a great message on humanitarian activity and
contribution of Jayaji, a renowned celebrity of international level towards the
lifesaving cause.
