My beloved organization Abu Dhabi Directorate under APO Emarat 121 Alumni Association which is accredited by the Philippine Embassy conducted last October 20, 2017 a blood donation service entitled "One Moment Drop Life" in partnership with Bayanihan Council and Samahan ng mga OFW sa UAE, held at Abu Dhabi Blood Bank, Khalidiya. We used to do this activity annually to support the country and to help those people who are in need of blood.

Did you know that there are so many benefits when you donate a blood? Here are some facts that will definitely convince you to donate soon!

Aside from these are the two major important benefits that you can ever share to the community:

SAVES LIVES

By donating blood, many lives are saved and hope is given to many whose situation may otherwise be hopeless. Blood donors give such patients a second lease of life.

BRINGS JOY TO MANY

When you donate blood, you impact not only the patient whose life may depend on your donation, but also all those who depend on that patient. The entire community will benefit from he spirit of generosity.

This activity are open to all nationalities. Before you can donate, there are some test you need to do to make sure you are eligible to donate. As per my research, according to redcrossblood.org you must wait at least eight weeks (56 days) between donations of whole blood and 16 weeks (112 days) between Power Red donations. But for those who are regular blood donor, usually they can donate every 3-4 months.
