The Gift of Blood – The Gift of Life
providing water not only to the needy human beings but also to animals as narrated by Chief of BJD Sarbat Da Bhala Trust, Sardar Parvinder Singh and others. The Trust organizes several such blood donation events apart from the annual camp in February evey successive years for over a decade. The blood donation camp was dedicated to the memory of Taranjit Singh, a young life which snatched by the destiny in a road accident in New Zealand some years ago. The Trust was made by the father of Taranjit Singh, Sardar Mandeep Singh in cooperation with their friends and comrades of the area with a view to help the needy; particularly the weaker sections of the society, with free or affordable health services including Ambulence to ferry the patients. The blood donation camp was orgnised with the help and cooperation of R.S. Gandhi Helping Hand Hospital. It was all the more gratifying to know from Sardar Parminder Singh that their focus to provide blood
remained on the children suffering from Thalassemia, a genetic blood disorder among children. In this regard, they provide blood to blood banks with Civil Hospital and Bhai Ghanaiya Blood Bank in Hoshiarpur and also Trishana Sharma of Jalandhar. Apart from this blood donation activity, BJD Sarbat Da Bhala Trust also provide free ration to poor and needy in the area.
I was impressed by their yeoman’s service to the community.
Parminder Singh told me that they will be happy to host a Dialysis Centre in
Adampur for the poor and needy with the help of volunteer donations and with
the possible sponsorship of some government agency. I wished them all the best
appreciated their approach and mission as:
Don’t just be A – Negative; Strive to be O – Positive.
