CORFU. Tuesday 5 December is International Volunteer Day and the NGO Equal Society is setting up a ‘blood bank’ in the Evg. Voulgareos St. pedestrian precinct from 10am – 1pm for voluntary blood donation – the 5th year that they have done so in Corfu.

Equal Society announcement

Blood donation is a life attitude; it unites humans and protects life itself. It saves lives as blood is not manufactured and there is no substitute for it. Every day, hundreds of our fellow humans need help.

If you are 18-65 years of age, in good health and haven’t taken any antibiotics in the last 7 days, if you haven’t had any serious operations or had tattooing or piercing done in the last six months, then it’s just a matter of 5 minutes for you to donate blood.

But for someone else it could be a matter of their whole life! That’s why it’s important to increase awareness of voluntary blood donation. Equal Society has to date given over 75 bottles of blood to fellow humans in need and we would like to appeal to you to support us by making a life ‘deposit’ and create …’blood ties’.

As long as there are people with values, there will be selfless and altruistic acts of social solidarity.

So, we are giving LIFE on 5 December! Give 5 minutes of your time and give a breath of new life to someone else!
