On 22 Nov, 2024 YPE Fellowship members organized the blood donation programs. The program’s objective was to bring together and engage YPE fellows to enhance their leadership capacity through various social initiatives. Also, this event was to encourage voluntary blood donations and create awareness about the importance of donating blood. The event witnessed active participation from various individuals, including YPE Fellow members, volunteers, and local community members.

YPE fellowship group members planned to organize a blood donation program during the regular meeting. The group planned and strategized the events, identifying suitable locations for maximum outreach and participation. Ayog Khadka, one of the YPE fellows lead the group and successfully completed the blood donation camp. The chosen locations were Traffic Chowk, in Biratnagar. The event was well-publicized through social media platforms, and word of mouth among all the members. YPE Fellows also collaborated with various stakeholders, including the Nepal Red Cross Society and the District Traffic Office of Biratnagar. Their support and cooperation play a significant part in completing the camp successfully.

All the YPE fellow members were also requested to bring their friends and colleagues to donate blood. During the event, 19 donors from diverse sectors participated in the blood donation program. The blood donation programs were conducted in public spaces to attract maximum participation. The YPE Fellowship members and volunteers actively engaged with individuals, urging them to donate blood with the slogan “Give blood, Save Life.” Passersby were also approached and encouraged to contribute to this life-saving cause.

The program was organized by YPE Fellowship Members and supported by Bikalpa an Alternative, Biratnagar Traffic Police, Nepal Red Cross Society , and individual donors. This is the first phase of Blood Donation Camp and YPE Fellow members are planning to do more blood donation in coming days.
