Mr. Mai Van Truong, who has been the Chairman of the Kim Son District Red Cross for 10 years, has participated in organizing hundreds of blood donation programs, but it was not until the recent emergency blood donation program that Mr. Truong had the opportunity to directly donate blood like many other volunteers. Therefore, Mr. Truong had a lot of emotions during this first blood donation.
Mr. Truong shared: In order to implement the policy of merging provinces and cities and operating two-level governments, I volunteered to retire early. Although I no longer wear the familiar red shirt - a symbol of compassion, my journey of doing charity work still continues. It is very touching that today I can directly donate blood urgently to save people, instead of having to do the work of organizing, arranging, and guiding volunteers like before. I am extremely happy when thinking that these red blood lines will be transferred to the lives of patients. This is the first time I donate blood, the beginning of my HMTN journey in the near future.
Mr. Nguyen Tien Tien, Vice Principal and Chairman of the Red Cross Society of Gia Vien B High School, is also one of the individuals who actively participates in voluntary blood donation. Mr. Tien shared: The first time I participated in voluntary blood donation was in 2002 when I was a student at Hanoi National University of Education. Realizing the importance of blood for patients and being aware of my responsibility to the community and society, I regularly participate in voluntary blood donation. Up to now, I have donated blood 17 times.
In addition, Mr. Tien also actively promotes and helps people understand the meaning of blood donation, providing information about the conditions, standards and benefits of blood donors. Propaganda and mobilization work is carried out regularly through collective activities, agency meetings, taking advantage of teachers' free time...
As the President of the Red Cross Society in the school, Mr. Tien has built a team of enthusiastic and responsible volunteers in the Red Cross work in general and in voluntary blood donation in particular. At the same time, he sets an annual goal of promoting and mobilizing at least one more person to donate blood for the first time. He has consulted with the school leadership, creating favorable conditions for cadres, teachers and employees to donate blood; there are timely forms of encouragement for individuals participating in voluntary blood donation.
Thanks to that, from the 2017-2018 school year up to now, the Red Cross Society of Gia Vien B High School has promoted and mobilized 144 cadres, teachers and employees to participate in voluntary blood donation, always exceeding the target assigned by the superiors. In particular, on July 8, 2025, in response to the call of the Steering Committee for Voluntary Blood Donation of Ninh Binh province, the Red Cross Society of the school promoted and mobilized 7 individuals to participate in donating blood in the emergency blood donation program.
The typical examples in Ninh Binh province in recent years are the core, the soul of the voluntary blood donation movement and the symbol of the tradition of mutual love and support of the nation. Many lives have been revived from that precious blood source. The special thing is that in addition to the regular voluntary blood donation programs, the emergency voluntary blood donation programs have always mobilized the attention, response and active participation of volunteers.
Mr. Bui Trong Ky, Deputy Head of the Provincial Steering Committee for Voluntary Blood Donation, said: The hot weather in the summer has significantly affected the mobilization and organization of voluntary blood donation. Meanwhile, the blood reserves of hospitals in the area are gradually depleted, leading to a local blood shortage. Before the emergency voluntary blood donation program took place, the amount of blood in the blood reserve of Ninh Binh General Hospital could only meet the demand for 2 to 3 days.
Faced with that situation, the Steering Committee for Voluntary Blood Donation of Ninh Binh province organized the "Emergency Blood Donation" program to mobilize donated blood sources and promptly meet the blood needs of hospitals in the province.
For the program to be successful, the Steering Committee for Voluntary Blood Donation in Ninh Binh province actively promoted and called on volunteers to participate in emergency blood donation through social networks such as Facebook, Zalo... and promoted directly through a team of collaborators and propagandists.
The program received registrations from about 300 volunteers who are officials, civil servants, public employees, and workers in Ninh Binh province, including many officials, doctors, and staff of Ninh Binh General Hospital.
Through the propaganda work, many volunteers registered to participate, many volunteers traveled dozens of kilometers to the voluntary blood donation location. As a result, the program received nearly 400 units of blood in the emergency blood donation program to promptly provide emergency care and treatment for patients.
The noble acts of volunteers not only save the lives of patients today, but are also a way for us to sow more seeds of compassion in the community.
