FR. CHETAN RECEIVES ‘MOTIVATOR’ AWARD FROM INDIAN RED CROSS SOCIETY
The Indian Red Cross Society honored Fr. Chetan with a Plaque and Shawl for the dedicated service rendered in motivating the blood donors. The honor was to be conferred by His Excellency the Governer of Karnataka on International Voluntary Blood Donors Day (June 14). Since Fr. Chetan could not attend the function on that day, the award was given by Mr. Shyam Sundar, member of Indian Red Cross Society on 1st September at a function held in the Auditorium of Darshan College.

The function was also meant for creating awareness in college students on the importance of Voluntary Blood Donation. ‘Give Blood-Save Life’ has been the motto of the Life Line association of St. Anthony’s Institutions. The inspiration has been none other than Jesus Christ Himself, who shed even the last drop of His blood for every human being. Mr. Sham Sunder and Ms. Gayathri Girish explained to the students the various aspects of Blood Donation and answered their queries with patience.
At the end of the program names of those ready to donate blood were taken. The actual Blood Donation Festival will be celebrated on 12th September. Mr. Johnsonthabu, the Secretary of Life Line Association proposed vote of thanks.
