VOV youths join blood donation campaign in Hanoi
VOV.VN - Youth volunteers from the Voice of Vietnam (VOV) and other agencies in Hanoi participated in a blood donation campaign on March 13, which aims to help resolve the shortage of blood supplies in many of the country’s hospitals.
 |
| The event was one of the activities held to celebrate 88 years since the Ho Chi Minh Communist Youth Union was first established, in March 26, 1931. |
 |
| The occasion marks the second time that the youth union of VOV has jointly co-ordinated with Hanoi-based Viet Duc Hospital to carry out the campaign. |
 |
| Young volunteers began to register to donate blood from the early hours of the morning. |
 |
| Before the hospital could accept their donation, their health was checked. |
 |
| A VOV member of staff says that he feels happy that his blood will go onto help save patients. |
 |
| Donating blood is a noble gesture which shows both compassion and tolerance, whilst the activity itself is a way of showing a young person’s responsibility to the community. |
 |
 |
| Many young volunteers say that they will register again on the next blood donation event. |
 |
| Hundreds of units of blood were collected during the event. |
