  • World Blood Donor Day 2021
    World Blood Donor Day 2021 World Blood Donor Day (WBDD) is held on June 14 each year. The event was organised for the first time in 2005, by a joint initiative of the World Health Organization, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies to raise awareness of the need for safe blood and blood products, and to thank blood donors for their voluntary, life-saving gifts of blood. World Blood Donor Day is one of 11 official global public health campaigns marked by the World Health Organization (WHO), along with World Health Day, World Chagas Disease Day, World Tuberculosis Day, World Immunization Week, World Patient Safety Day, World Malaria Day, World No Tobacco Day, World Hepatitis Day, World Antimicrobial Awareness Week and World AIDS Day. The slogan of World Blood Donor Day 2021 is: “Give blood and keep the world beating”. World Blood Donor Day is used to celebrate for encouraging the people to get the Blood to the several Camps which are organized by the Government. It is very easy to give the Blood to the Camps only by giving the Blood with the help of wire and injections injected to the Blood giving person. Blood donation solves many of the problems like the difficult surgical as well as medical procedures. Many of the Campaigns play an important role in saving many of the pregnant women’s life during the post-pregnancy as well as pre-pregnancy. People who donate blood are used to save many of the lives of the people like the people suffering from the anemic Kids, anemic Women, persons who have loss excessive Blood when they come into an accident, cancer people, surgical people, sickle cell anemia disease, Thalassemia people, suffering from the Haemophilia Disease, Disorders of the Blood, Blood Clotting problem and also many of the problems.

Tha Prachan, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok 10200 Tel 0-2221-8892 Fax 0-2923-5623 www.mcu.ac.th Preface Mahachulalongkornrajavidyalaya University (MCU) has been privileged to witness and play a crucial role in developing and hosting successful UNDV celebrations from the beginning in 2004/ 2547 to 2011/2554 (except in 2008/2551 – the celebrations were held in Hanoi, Vietnam). As always, we are all very grateful to the Royal Thai Government for its constant support, and thank the Thai Supreme Sangha Council for its blessings, guidance and support. We are indebted, also, to the United Nations for recognizing the thrice-sacred Buddhist holy day. It has been 2554 years since the death of our Great Teacher, and we have gathered here from across the globe, from many nations, to again pay tribute to his birth, enlightenment, and death – occurring on the same day in different years. For the celebrations this year, the Inter- national Association of Buddhist Universities (IABU), created during the UNDV in 2007/2550 by the participating Buddhist higher institutions, plays an important role. The IABU Secretariat now plays a major role in our celebrations, particularly in the academic program of the conference.

  • Interfaith Calendar
    2018 - 2019 18-month interfaith calendar 18-Month Interfaith Calendar To foster and support inclusive communities, Diversity Awareness Partnership is pleased to present the 2018-2019 18-Month Interfaith Calendar. This publication is a handy guide to observances celebrated across 25 religious traditions in the St. Louis region. When planning your organization’s schedule, refer to our Interfaith Calendar to honor the holidays your friends, neighbors, and colleagues celebrate. Considerations In order to be more accommodating for people who practice different religions, consider the following: FOOD Food and drink are central to many traditions’ rituals and practices. Consider vegetarian, vegan, non-alcoholic, and decaf options, which can accommodate a wide variety of religious and ethical choices. HOURS Some holidays may require individuals to worship or pray during different hours than they may the rest of the year. Consider flexibility that takes into account the work and objectives of your student or employee, rather than the typical time frame when this is normally accomplished. TIME OFF Many organizations have standard holidays for all employees or students that are built around the worldview of a particular religion - Christianity, for example. Consider allowing practitioners of other religions to float these holidays or make shifts in their schedules. Again, the priority should be the quality of the work, not where or when it takes place. DEADLINES/WORK FLOW During holidays that require prayer at late/early hours or that require fasting, some individuals may experience decreased stamina. Examine project schedules or work deadlines to see if they can be adjusted, if need be. PRAYER Some religions require daily or periodic prayer that requires solitude and quiet.

  • World Blood Donor Day — Anyone Can Save a Life
    14 JUNE: WORLD BLOOD DONOR DAY — ANYONE CAN SAVE A LIFE Eight out of ten people in the world do not have access to safe blood Geneva — Thanks to the millions of people who give blood safely and anonymously, thousands of lives are saved every day. But the chances of receiving a safe transfusion — or any transfusion at all — vary enormously from country to country. Some 60% of global blood supplies goes to 18% of the world's people, leaving 82% of the global population inadequately covered. World Blood Donor Day 2005 is a time to thank the world's regular, voluntary blood donors as well as a day for personal reflection. Almost everyone can contribute to saving a life, either by becoming a regular donor or — if health reasons prevent that — by volunteering to help on blood donation days. "Safe blood is a fundamental need for the health system of any country," said Dr LEE Jong-wook, Director-General of the World Health Organization (WHO). "WHO's 192 Member States have recently agreed that World Blood Donor Day will be an officially recognized annual event. This will help raise awareness of the continuing need for safe blood and safe donors." WHO and other organizations have advocated clear strategies to increase universal access to safe blood. These are based on promoting regular, voluntary, unpaid donations and on nationally coordinated blood transfusion services. Malawi, a country with 14.4% incidence of HIV/AIDS and huge development challenges, has managed to set up a functioning blood service based on voluntary unpaid donation in just two years.

The number of donors which was only 480,000 in 1981 increased by more than five times to 2.6 million today. The Korean government has also supported the development of national blood service by establishing blood service department under the Ministry of Health and Welfare and the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
