Youth hold blood donation festival

HA NOI (VNS)— The Ha Noi Youth Blood Donation Mobilisation Association held the Youth Blood Donation Festival 2012 at Viet Nam National University Ha Noi yesterday in co-ordination with the National Institute of Haematology and Blood Transfusion.

Organisers expect to collect at least 1,200 blood units (350ml each) from more than 2,000 registered donors out of the 3,500 people in attendance. However, by September 20, more than 4,500 people registered at the festival to donate their blood.

The event aims to educate the young about safe lifestyles and teach them how to love and to share. — VNS
