World Blood Day to be held over a week this year

By THE NATION

 

 

The Thai Red Cross Society will hold World Blood Day 2020 from June 14-18 at the National Blood Centre in Bangkok’s Pathumwan district and at blood donation centres nationwide.

 

“The World Blood Donation Day is on June 14, but this year we are extending the activity to cover a week to disperse blood donors and avoid the gathering of large groups of people to prevent the spread of Covid-19,” the Red Cross said on Tuesday (June 9). “Those who come to donate blood at the National Blood Center on Henry Dunant Road will also receive a complimentary movie ticket from SF Cinema.”

 

There is also activity via social media for those who have the World Blood Donation Day T-shirt of any year from 2004 (the first year of World Blood Donation Day) to 2019. Simply take a picture of yourself wearing the shirt and create a public post on Facebook with hashtag #WBDD2020 until June 14. A 100 winners from a lucky draw will receive Nu Daeng Rocking Doll from the Thai Red Cross Society.

I started giving blood during Bloody May 1992. It was the one thing I could do for those injured, including one of my students who died.

 

It's been my regular practice ever since. I was cut off from donation at age 70.

 

EVERYBODY should give blood. It takes little time & free Milo! Please do!
