She explained the kind of donations, who all could donate and what all organs could be donated. Amit explained the concept of brain death and how to sign up for organ donation.
Chaitanya and Mareena from the Foundation were present for the session. Archita and Amit kept the audience engaged by giving chocolates to the audience as a reward for answering correctly to the questions asked. They had immense enthusiasm throughout the whole session.
