Can we donate blood just casually? Can any person of any age group donate blood? Can any person suffering from some ailment donate blood? We all have these type of questions mostly teenagers or young adults who are going to donate blood for the first time. They don’t have the basMINIMUM AGE AND WEIGHT TO DONATE BLOODic awareness of blood donating. There should be awareness of why to donate blood and most importantly when to donate blood. It forms an important part of doing service to humanity even if you are not eligible.

MINIMUM AGE AND WEIGHT TO DONATE BLOOD

This is the first question a layman or a young adult has in mind about blood donation. What should be the minimum age to donate blood? Why is the minimum age required? What is the minimum weight one should have while donating blood?

Well, for starters, the minimum age for anyone who wants to donate blood has been fixed as 18 years by the government. Why? Because, before 18 years of age, a person is regarded as a child or young persons. Their bodies are developing into healthy bodies and they are under the guidance of their parents or elders. Their minds are not yet developed fully to take independent decisions. The moment a person turns 18 years of age, he is considered to be an Adult, fit enough to take his own decisions and has a fully developed body. Even if a country like India needs blood around 8 million units per year. His body should have a weight of around more then 45 to 50 Kilograms. That helps in fast rebuilding of Blood in the donor’s body after giving blood.

MAXIMUM AGE TO DONATE BLOOD.

Now that we know about the minimum age, let us go to know the maximum age for adults who want to donate blood. In some countries, the age limit for donating blood goes to 70 or 75, while in countries like India; the age limit is 60 to 62 years. Why is there an age limit? Well, we all know the answers to this question somehow. At this age, a person may have some or the other disease in his body known or unknown to him, his body may not be ready to process new blood that fast resulting in failing health after donating blood. He may face some health problems like nausea, faint or develop other complications. He may also have diabetes or high blood pressure which may make him unhealthy after donating blood. The new blood formation process becomes slow. They face physiological problems.

OTHER ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA TO DONATE BLOOD.

Other then young children and old persons above age of 60 years, there are some other eligibility criteria for persons who cannot give blood or donate blood. Here are some criteria for those who want to donate blood.

From Where I can Get this Books

if you want to read this book you can take it from our Ahmedabad Address center..

“a woman’s cause is man’s they rise and sink together”
What is the mentality of men committing rape? Psychologists opine that rapists commit this crime because they want to show their power. Are the men so tremendously in need to show their power that they have gone berserk? Our society needs to question this grave problem or else men will have to be either in psychiatric ward or no daughters will be born! So much for the balance in the world! This issue defines severe gravity. Rise in Rape Cases are tremendous set back for Indian Society which was famous for openness and cultural harmony. Our culture is pioneer of respecting women. But it is not the case now 🙁

This is also a Guest Post by “Kavita Jhala“, she has volunteered her services to help us spreading awareness.

 

“Dress up the Cause”

Social Initiative By Let’s Nurture (www.letsnurture.org)

We need to steer clear of this poverty of giving, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don’t want to work hard to share or donate these things. Everyone should try to realize their full potential – the potential of getting and also giving. Only then will the circle of attainment will be complete.

Kindness is a wonderful gift in itself.  Even the smallest, most simple act of kindness can make a difference in someone’s life in a very big way.

I am a great believer in random acts of kindness that reach across time and space to touch the life of another human being.  Acts of kindness are really not difficult.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we could eliminate meanness, pettiness, gossip, criticism, judgement, polarity and blame by allowing the spirit of kindness to permeate our lives.

Enjoy the spirit of nurturing.  The spirit of giving.

Let’s nurture this quality of giving. What can you give? Old clothes, old blankets and any useful old things that give warm glow to the souls in need

We are inviting everyone to donate something for people who have no roof to save their shivering self from the harsh winds of the winter.

This is was really a motivating moment for us.

He mentioned couple of things which really important

No Contact Details on Website?

he said that there is not any contact detail on website. And he was trying to call me before he ran into office. ( Very True, we may have to add numbers very soon) And he requested to post pictures from past events. That was also right thing to ask for. After this incident I think it is better not to put contact number and put only Physical Address by this way people will come , visit and share their ideas with us.

No Picture abou Past Events

He also told us that he was not able to find pictures of past events,though we have all pictures on our Facebook Event Page about stationary donation in Ahmedabad and on Google Plus as well. I am Posting some images here as well.
