Saudi Arabian Alumni Organize GYSD Blood Drive

Ksa Blood Drive Awareness Project April 2014

YES alumni in Saudi Arabia organized a medical team to visit Bin Baz high school with 2 goals in mind: to talk to the students about the importance of giving blood and to set up a blood drive collection center for the day. Dr. Camil spoke to the approximately 60 students

about blood types, blood donation benefits, blood donation requirements and conditions. During break time, alumni Motaz Alyahya 2005-2006, Turki Alghamdi 2010-2011, Abdullah AlShelwei 2012-2013 and Abdulrahman AlDahyan 2012-2013 spoke to the students about the YES program and scholarship.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

After Dr. Camil finished the lecture, the principals thanked him and gave him a certificate for his efforts. The YES alumni distributed a program brochure they had developed.
The event was very successful. The students left with more awareness about blood donation and 27 students donated blood. It also helped increase awareness of the YES program in Saudia Arabia and the alumni service projects.
