SAUDI ARABIA – The Tau Gamma Phi International in the Western Region of Saudi held a blood-letting activity as part of the fraternity’s 43rd anniversary.
“We are doing this because we believe we could save lives and to give glory and honor to our fraternity, Tau Gamma Phi," said Ferdie Tapa, president Tau Gamma Phi International Asir Western Region.
The activity was not only exclusive to fraternity members, as other Filipinos based in Saudi also took time out to donate blood.
Pinay nurse Rachel Grace Parfan was excited to donate blood while X-ray technician Doreen Advincula saw the activity as an opportunity that would help others in the future.
“I am thankful to all our members, our brothers and sisters, for their unselfish support for this charity project. I hope the Saudi government will support us also in our next blood letting program,” Tapa added.
The group was able to donate 31,500 cc of blood. Andy Relox, ABS-CBN Middle East News Bureau
