Unika Atma Jaya held a blood donor event with the main theme “Donate Your Blood, Get Your Prize!” This event was held by the Alumni Association of Unika Atma Jaya on Sunday, December 2 2019 in the Semanggi Campus. The event started at 6 a.m., beginning with a fun walk attended by both alumni and students of the Faculty of Engineering. Afterwards, the participants together ate the breakfast provided by the committee.

 

The blood donor activity per se started from 7.00 a.m. to 11.00 a.m. The donors came from various backgrounds, including students, lecturers and even the people who were enjoying their Car Free Day walk across the Sudirman Street. The participants who donated the blood initially had to fill out the form concerning their health and other medical history. After that, they were immediately directed to the donor booths opened by the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) from the West Java Chapters, such as Majalengka, Sukabumi, and other regions. 

Devin Gunawan, one of the donors, was excited to be able to donate his blood to those in need. “I was truly grateful that I could donate my blood to those who needed it. I hope more and more people can benefit from this blood donor activity.” Besides the blood donor activity, there was also a talk show from the Health Agency, UNHCR, ILO, and not to mention HIV tests. The talk show by UNHCR featured some informative sessions about AIDS, which was followed by a talk show by the Health Agency on the same topic. The event concluded with some singing performances from UNHCR and ILO.
