Organ Donation Information Desk at Blood Donation Camp, Pilar, Goa |
|
On November 18, 2025, Mr. Gabriel Pereira, an Organ Donation Ambassador from MOHAN Foundation, set up an Organ Donation Information Desk at a Blood Donation Camp organized by Our Lady of Pilar Church (Society of Pilar) in collaboration with Loving Hearts Goa and the Goa Medical College Blood Bank. The camp was held from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon.
The Society of the Missionaries of St. Francis Xavier, commonly known as the Society of Pilar, commemorated the 98th death anniversary of Ven. Agnelo with nine days of novenas, culminating in the feast on November 20, 2025.
The blood donation camp was held on the eighth day of the novena at the Our Lady of Pilar Church Hall. Parishioners who had attended Mass earlier in the morning participated actively by donating blood. Gabriel Pereira distributed around 30 FAQs on organ donation and engaged attendees in meaningful discussions about the importance of organ donation, motivating them to pledge their support for the cause.
The camp saw a turnout of about 34 individuals, of whom 28 were eligible to donate blood and 6 were not. Additionally, two individuals pledged to donate their organs, marking a positive step toward enhancing organ donation awareness.
