Konkani Catholic Welfare Association (KCWA) R.T Nagar, Bengaluru, in partnership with St. Jude's Church, R.T Nagar, and Aweksha - a Charitable Women's Trust, collaborated with Victoria Hospital Blood Bank, Bengaluru, to orchestrate a commendable blood donation camp on April 21, 2024, at St. Jude's Church hall, R.T Nagar, Bengaluru.

A dedicated team of 15 members from Aweksha and Victoria Hospital, Bengaluru, comprising doctors, nurses, and support staff, promptly assembled at 7:30 am to set up the camp and facilitate the blood donation process.

KCWA members adeptly coordinated the logistics, ensuring a seamless experience for donors. Their efforts resulted in a turnout of approximately 40 individuals who graciously volunteered to donate blood, a gesture that was warmly received and deeply appreciated.

In recognition of their selfless act, successful donors were presented with certificates of appreciation from Victoria Hospital. The camp wrapped up at 1:30 PM on a note of gratitude and accomplishment.
