Only about 5% of the people give blood. Many people do not give blood, because they are afraid of needles or think it will be painful. Others fear that they may get AIDS by donating blood. Some don’t want to take the time and effort required to give blood.
But, please keep in mind that:
The St. John Ambulance Malaysia (SJAM) from SMK Damansara Utama is taking action to save lives! SJAM from Damansara Utama Division will be holding a blood drive in Tropicana City Mall to help those in need.
10am – 5pm
Tropicana City Mall
First Floor (Opposite Kiku Zakura)
Are you needed as a blood donor?
The answer is yes!
When there is not enough blood, patients wait for hours for the blood they need, delaying their recovery. They might even lose their dear life.
A unit of blood is needed every three seconds! However, the resource of blood is always in shortage. What are you waiting for? You can give the extraordinary gift of life.

By being a donor yourself and encouraging others to give, you can be the difference between life and death for as many as 3 people.
