Give Blood, Save a Child
Every child deserves quality education, the Children’s Hour Philippines Inc. (CHPI) donated a seed money of P150,000 to the Philippine National Red Cross (PNRC).
CHPI chairman Ambassador Bienvenido Tan Jr. handed over the check donation to PNRC Governor Rosa Rosal, who represented PNRC chairman Sen. Richard J. Gordon.
The P150,000 donation of Children’s Hour will go to the PNRC special project called “Give Blood, Save a Child”, which is patterned after the Blood Samaritan Project (BSP).
The BSP intends to pilot-test it for charity patients who cannot afford the cost of blood transfusion from October to December 2008.
Project site is the Philippine General Hospital (PGH), Philippine Children’s Medical Center, and National Children’s Hospital (NCH). The donation will benefit more than 100 children from all over the country.
Rosal said the PNRC stands by the belief of providing quality health and education care by providing safe and quality blood to patients needing transfusion regardless of status in life.
“Blood itself is free but there is minimal expense in collecting and processing one unit of safe and quality whole blood, which is P1,500 at the PNRC blood centers. Records show that in most cases, patients would need more than one unit of blood,” she said.
The “Give Blood, Save a Child” program offers an organized system of tapping good Samaritans to help alleviate human suffering by subsidizing the cost of blood processing, in part or in whole.
