Blood Donation Drive at SUC

Yesterday and today, a blood donation drive was held at the Sunway University College foyer, from 10am to 4.30pm, courtesy of the National Blood Bank.


The KLU Leos were in charge of registering the potential donors, and checking their registration forms (in addition to entertaining all their questions).

The crowd was very supportive and they came by the truckloads, all signing up when one of their friends decided to do it.

Some students, however, were hesitant about donating and so just stood and watched while their friends donated.

Many who wanted to donate got turned down because they were underaged/ underweight/ were in Malaysia for less than a year (foreign students)/ had high or low blood pressure, etc.


The Leos from Leo Club of Sunway New Century were in charge of writing the certificates for the donors to be collected after the noble deed.

Even our very own Leo Mervyn turned up to show his support! What a way to take time off from work. :)

All in all, we managed to collect 72 bags the first day, and 93 bags the second. That's 165 bags in total!

ROAR!
