Ms. Seang Sokcheng (UCSS President) and Mr. Yun Makara (UC Administrative Staff) joined representatives from other universities in a meeting at the National Blood Transfusion Center located at Ang Doung Hospital. The meeting led by Dr. Hok Kim Cheng (Director of National Blood Transfusion Center) and Dr. Sek Mardy (Technical Officer for Transfusion from World Health Organization) aimed to gather participants’ feedback on how to best conduct a blooddrive during Valentine’s Day under the blood donation campaign called “Give Blood, Give Love.” The campaign was set to be conducted on February 14, 2014.
Dr. Hok Kim Cheng encouraged all participants to help by the following means:
He asked university representatives to help in promoting, motivating and urging students from their own universities to participate in the “Give Blood, Give Love” campaign.
For those universities willing to help the National Blood Transfusion Center will provide leaflets, pamphlets, posters, digital posters, short promotional video clips, etc. to help promote the campaign to save lives. Also, the NBTC will offer trainings for students who are helping to promote the campaign, in order to answer inquiring questions about the blood donation campaign.
He would like to conduct an on-going concert during the blood drive campaign and asked if people would be willing to conduct student performances. It could be anything ranging from having singers, dancers (both traditional and modern), to having a fashion show.
Dr. Hok Kim Cheng added, for those universities participating in the blood drive campaign, their logos will be placed on the backdrop of the event and will be given an information booth to market their school to the greater public.
UCSS is eager to help and we are anticipating the approval of the formal proposal to participate in the “Give Blood, Give Love” campaign.
