27 June 10 : Blood truly is the river of life. The valuable gift of donation of blood is a sign of kindness and care for the fellow human beings. Unfortunately the demand arising out of accidents, operations and others far exceed the supply. Anyone good health can donate blood and SYMA has been striving to create awareness in the Society and enlist a large group of blood donors. We have been planning to update the list of donors available in our website.

After some lull in this facet, We organized a Blood Donation camp at Bharatiyar Illam on 27th June 2010 . The camp was organized in association with Kanchi Kamakoti Child Trust Hospital, Nungambakkam.

Days prior to the camp, our young brigade of volunteers led by Prasad went on a street to street campaign. This ensured an impressive turn out of over 100 persons in the camp, which 85 donated blood. Each were given a Donor Card also a certificate. Dr. Krishnamachari gave a thought provoking lecture on blood donation to our volunteers.

We place on record our thanks to the staff of Kanchi Kamakoti Child Trust and Chief Medical Officer, Blood Bank, Dr Krishnamachari. Special appreciations are due to the team of Prasad, Vinoth, Ashik, Kishore, Parthasarathy, Sathish, Shabeer, Santosh, Karthikeyan and Ranjit whose painstaking efforts ensured the success of the camp.

23 May 10 : SYMA organized a kidney disease awareness camp on 23.05.10 at Bharathiyar House, Triplicane. Dr.S.Jayalakshmi and Dr.Indhumathi conducted the camp. Around 100 persons were screened and follow up action recommended. There was an interactive Q/A session also.
