ARM, ZTE and EFI are a group of companies located in the same office premises. They had organised a camp in association with Sankalp last year and are now ready for another one. Given the fact that one of the core members of the Sankalp team works in one of these companies, it should be a smooth sailing event.
A group of individuals of a public community group have decided to organsie a blood donation drive at their premises. This drive is scheduled for the 8th of February. The interesting aspect here is that the main organiser knows Sankalp because she had received help from Sankalp when someone in her family was looking for blood.
One of our Sankalp friends is an associate at National Instruments. After an intial discussion and some ground work to speak to people there asking them to come forward to donate blood, a drive has been fixed up at NI on the 19th of February 2009. With an estimated 50 donations in sight, this drive will definitely be the start of a new Sankalp-NI bonding
After about 26 blood donation drives that we have organized so far and the one mega event - ",Blood Bank Meet", we had strong reasons to pen down the procedure to be followed in every blood donation drive and take a promise from the blood banks to follow it. Thus came the Sankalp Policy for Blood Donation Drives.
Deutsche Bank and Sankalp India Foundation have teamed up yet again to plan and organise the second blood donation drive at Deutsche Bank. With the summer shortage of blood lurking in Bangalore city, this drive scheduled for the 25th of February, 2009 will certainly be a gift to the city
To further strengthen the bond between Airtel Karnataka and Sankalp India Foundation, the 2 parties are organising the first blood donation drive together. The first of it's kind within Airtel Karnataka, this initiative will surely yield major results as Sankalp looks to build units all over Karnataka the can organise blood donation drives. This drive will be held on the 12th of February at Airtel Bannerghatta Road Office
The big one is on again. ITPB, Sankalp's favorite blood hunting ground is gearing up once again to host it's 5th blood donation drive. It is planned in early February this year. With about 2000 donations in the last 4 drives put together, ITPB this time too looks upbeat to make a mark specially with the summer shortage on the horizon.
Sankalp is this time too involved in all setup and procedural operations in full swing and hopes to make the event a wonderful one.
Trianz, who in the past have had blood donation drives in associaton with Sankalp, continue the blood bond by coming forward to organise another drive in the 3rd week of January. The date has been finalised for the 21st of January. With an employee strength of close to 300, a total of 50 donations should be expected from here. Such small contributions make a telling effect as we head into the shortage period in the coming summer months.
Wishing you all a very happy new year. Hope this year brings with it peace, prosperity and lots of happiness to everyone.
