Volunteers participate in a parade to promote voluntary blood donation in the Red Journey 2025
The highlight of the Red Journey 2025 in Lang Son is that the organizers have expanded the scale of the program. Specifically, the program will take place over two days (June 19 and 20, at the City Party Committee - People's Committee of Lang Son City) instead of just one day like in 2024. This is also the 12th consecutive year that Lang Son has organized the Red Journey program. The program's series of activities will include many activities such as: a mobile propaganda parade on voluntary blood donation (VBD); cultural exchange and propaganda to mobilize VBD people; organizing the "Red Drops of Lang" blood donation festival and visiting and giving gifts to some policy families in Lang Son city.
Ms. Nong Bich Thuan, President of the Provincial Red Cross Society, Deputy Head of the Provincial Red Cross Steering Committee, said: Immediately after receiving the directive document from the Central Red Cross Society on the Red Journey campaign, along with proactively advising on the development of plans and program content for the Provincial Red Cross Steering Committee, the association also urgently allocated targets to units, departments and branches in the province. At the same time, the association strengthened close coordination with departments, branches, press agencies... to promote propaganda about the Red Journey 2025. Up to this point, the Provincial Red Cross Society has completed the plan and is implementing propaganda activities, mobilizing people to participate in the Red Journey, fully preparing the conditions to serve the big festival.
Notably, this year's organization also has many innovations in a more professional and scientific direction. Accordingly, since the end of May 2025, the Provincial Red Cross Association has promoted the application of social networks to widely propagate the Red Journey and mobilize people, especially young students, to register as volunteers to participate in the campaign. In particular, since the beginning of June 2025, 60 volunteers have been trained in basic knowledge and skills for the Red Journey 2025. Up to now, the preparation of documents, propaganda messages, and the provision of necessary knowledge and skills for the entire journey have been completed. All the streets of Lang Son city are covered in red with billboards, posters, and slogans towards the Red Journey 2025... At the same time, on June 15, Red Journey volunteers marched, propagated, and distributed over 1,000 leaflets to encourage people to participate in the Red Journey on the streets, densely populated areas, parks, and markets in the city.
Luong Manh Dung, Medical College, Red Journey 2025 volunteer said: For more than half a month, my fellow volunteers and I have participated in all the training sessions on Red Journey organized by the Provincial Red Cross Association. In addition to promoting and mobilizing people to donate blood in residential areas, we also actively promote on social networks (Zalo, Facebook) to spread more strongly about Red Journey.
Along with that, the organizing committee also made a detailed plan according to the time frame for each agency and unit to avoid the situation where blood donors have to wait too long or get stuck at the stages before blood is drawn. In addition, the medical staff and doctors are increased to support health check-ups, testing, screening and blood drawing to ensure a safe, quick and time-saving blood donation process for the people.
In addition to the initiative of the volunteer team and the organizing committee members, the units, departments and branches assigned with the target also promoted propaganda and mobilized cadres, workers, civil servants and employees to actively register to donate blood and respond to the program.
Mr. Bui Dinh Khoa, Director of Viettel Lang Son - Branch of the Military Industry - Telecommunications Group said: Responding to the Red Journey program, the leadership team in our unit has been a pioneer in registering to donate blood and mobilizing officers and employees to participate, so the annual blood donation results always meet and exceed the assigned target. In 2024, the unit had 35/32 people participating in blood donation (reaching 109% of the target), in 2025, the unit had 54/33 people registering to donate blood (reaching 163% of the target).
With the careful preparation of the organizing committee and the proactiveness and positivity of units, departments and branches, we believe that the Red Journey 2025 will be a great success, receiving more blood units than the proposed number and creating a widespread influence for the voluntary blood donation movement in the community.
The 13th Red Journey, chaired by the National Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, in coordination with the Office of the National Steering Committee for Blood Donation and Blood Transfusion Centers and Red Cross Societies of 48 provinces and cities, officially opened on May 30, 2025. The program will last for 2 months (May 30 - July 30) in 48 provinces/cities and is expected to collect 100,000 units of blood. In Lang Son, this year's Red Journey has the theme "Red Drops of Lang Son" and is expected to take place over 2 days, May 19-20, 2025. The province is assigned the target of mobilizing over 2,000 people to register to participate in blood donation and receive 1,600 or more blood units from blood donors; mobilizing at least 200 volunteers in the whole province to participate in the program's activities... Up to this point, the whole province has had over 2,000 people register to donate blood, reaching 100% of the set target and more than 300 volunteers in the whole province participating in the program's activities... |
