Quantum Foundation honours blood donors
The Quantum Foundation, a voluntary blood donors' organisation, yesterday honoured a total of 232 voluntary blood donors, who have donated blood at least 10 to 25 times in their lifetime.
Dr Mohammad Akhtaruzzaman, vice-chancellor (VC) of Dhaka University (DU), as the chief guest, handed over the crests and certificates at a ceremony held at Jatiya Press Club in the capital.
"Donating blood can expand people's soft-values, morals and inner qualities," he said.
Dr Akhtaruzzaman said Quantum Foundation's acknowledgment and honor to the voluntary blood donors is an inspiration for other people to work for the society.
At the programme, the foundation honored the regular blood donors in two categories, silver and gold, with crests, certificates and special identity cards.
The silver blood donors got recognition for donating at least 10 bags of blood while the golden donors were acknowledged for donating at least 25 bags of blood voluntarily.
Neuropathist and Psychiatrist Dr Zahir Uddin Ahmed addressed the programme as a special guest while chief-coordinator of the foundation Nahar Al Bokhari chaired the function.
