Donate Blood. Save a Life!
The United Nations observes International Blood Donor Day on Sunday, 14 June. The theme this year is "Thank you for saving my life" to acknowledge the contribution of those who save lives by donating blood.
To encourage the practice, people are being exhorted with the slogan "Give freely, give often. Blood donation matters."
Introduced in 2004, Blood Donor Day aims to bring awareness on blood transfusion to save millions of lives. Blood donation camps are arranged all over the world.
In a recently released video by the UN as part of Blood Donor Day, people from various countries are seen thanking donors for saving their lives.
