  • On 10th October 2017 MOHAN Foundation Mumbai was invited by Mr. D.S. Yadav, MD of YAK Marine Academy to conduct awareness talks for senior citizens and merchant navy cadets at YAK Marine Academy, Khopoli.

    After sharing a brief introduction about MOHAN Foundation and its activities, Mrs. Jaya Jairam spoke about what is Organ Donation, why is it needed, who can be donors and the process of how organ donation and transplantation is done. She also discussed the various barriers, myths and facts relating to organ donation.

    She went on to share her personal story of how she decided to work towards furthering the cause of organ donation after undergoing a kidney transplant.

    A lot of queries were asked regarding the process of organ donation as well as the process of registration on the waiting list. Mr.Amit Shenoy and Mrs.Jaya Jairam answered all the queries.

    Out of the 100 odd participants, a good 58 merchant navy cadets pledged their organs for the noble cause of organ donation.

    We wish to convey our heartfelt and sincere gratitude to Mr. D S Yadav for organising this fruitful session, thereby supporting the cause.

    Mr D S Yadav also assured regular such session for new recruits from time to time.
