On
1st July 2009, Duy Tan University’ s Youth Union in conjunction
with Danang Youth Association held the Blood Donor Day, 2nd Period
2009 at 184 Nguyen Van Linh Street, Danang city.
The
activity attracted a considerable participation of DTU’s students. Student
Nguyen Thi Oanh, who donated blood for the first time said: “Initially, I am fear of being hurt when
giving blood, but think that this is a good deed, so I take part in the special
day without hesitation. This kind act of charity really makes me feel happy. Giving blood doesn't hurt. In fact, it feels great”
Together with
students, staff and lecturers of DTU also joined the activity. With 3 times of
blood donation, Mr Nguyen Thoi - Chief of Student Affairs Department stated: “We must enhance the work of blood donation
which is relatively safe for the donor’s health, and sometimes increases the
body’s resistance for the donors.”
“We should be willing to give blood, you would truly be offering a most
beautiful part of yourself for the benefit of those less fortunate. We need to be
aware of it and promote this significant activity of donating blood”, he added.
200 units of
blood was collected and sent to Danang
Hospital to help the
patients in need of blood. Up to now, Duy Tan students have donated more than
600 blood units, exceeding of the target accredited in 2009 by Danang Blood
Donation Campaign. The third donation period is scheduled to be held in
December, 2009.
Blood Donation
is one of the regular and voluntary activities of DTU’ s students and staff, presenting
the humanitarian spirit and responsibility of the youth of Duy Tan University to the community.
