On the Youth’s Donor Day, which takes place on November 17, students of Vologda State University took part in a blood donation campaign.
“Thank you, guys, for supporting our initiative” – said Valeria Smirnova, a specialist for youth guidance at Vologda State University. “It is great to help other people, because blood transfusions can save millions of human lives every year.”
Before giving blood, students had to fill out a questionnaire, pass a medical examination, and drink a glass of sweet tea. The procedure was performed by employees of the Vologda regional blood transfusion station No. 1.
“I feel good,” Alina Terebova, a first-year student, shared her feelings after the blood donation. “I underwent such procedure for the first time in my life. I had no fear whatsoever. I read all the information provided by the organizers, so I knew what I was doing.”
