FAMSY Blood Drive - VIC

On the 14th of February 2010, under the umbrella of the Federation of Australian Muslim Students and Youth, its members and friends of saved 75 lives! How do you ask? By the simple act of donating blood.  Each blood donation can save upto 3 lives, and so with 25 willing participants, such a noble act was achieved.

Alhamdulilah the Muslim community has done a small part in transforming the lives of those unfortunate in our community to have cancer, be involved in a terrible accident or have a severe blood condition.
Although the wait to donate was longer than expected, a patient 3 hours, new and old faces alike waited to do their part. The Red Cross was kept on their feet in their efforts  to clear the halls of the volunteers of this mass donation.

A big thankyou must be passed on to the members of the Bangladeshi community who were present in large numbers , as well as the President of FAMSY and members of the Shura for their encouragement. Organised by Salahuddin for a second year, we hope that FAMSY continues its donation for years to come.
