Pabna June 14,(V7N)- Shifat Rahman Sanam is a poet and journalist by profession. Additionally, he is involved in various social and humanitarian activities. He always feels a deep connection and compassion towards helpless people. Motivated by this bond, he has extended his hand countless times to save critically ill patients. To date, he has donated blood to 66 individuals, making him the second-highest blood donor in the district.
Not only Sanam but also many others like Asaduzzaman Khokon, Khairuzzaman Ahmed Arun, and others have come forward to save lives by donating their blood. Driven purely by humanity and a sense of responsibility, these individuals have been donating blood selflessly for years. Their blood carries nothing but love for people.
Today, June 14, is World Blood Donor Day. How many of us remember those who save lives by donating blood? It has been suggested that the benefits of blood donation should be disseminated among the new generation, not just on this day but continuously. For this purpose, the Sandhani Donor Club of Pabna has been working tirelessly for three decades. Founded in 1988 in Pabna, this year marks the club's 36th anniversary. Countless helpless individuals have regained their lives through the blood of the club's members.
The top three blood donors in Pabna are Asaduzzaman Khokon (51), who has donated blood 70 times; Shifat Rahman Sanam (47), who has donated blood 66 times; and Khairuzzaman Ahmed Arun (54), who has donated blood 53 times.
Sabbir Hossain Ripon, a founding member of Sandhani Donor Club, told Voice Seven News, "We are primarily working selflessly for the service of distressed humanity, driven by humanitarian values."
He informed that the first blood donor in Pabna district was Awlad Hossain, who donated blood for the first time on July 17, 1988. Shortly thereafter, Anwara Begum became the first female blood donor in the district.
Sabbir Hossain Ripon further mentioned to Voice7 News that Sandhani Donor Club has 450 donor members. So far, at least 80,000 people in the district have been provided with blood and free medication services.
In this regard, the second-highest blood donor, Shifat Rahman Sanam, told Voice7 News, "I have been donating blood out of ethical values and humanity. I feel self-satisfied to be able to stand by helpless people. Especially, it feels good to donate blood to children suffering from thalassemia. As long as I live, I want to continue loving people in this way, spreading love through blood."
Currently, the highest blood donor in the district, Asaduzzaman Khokon, told Voice7 News, "Donating blood keeps the body healthy and well. It brings peace of mind. I can't stay still seeing helpless people running around for blood. Out of love for people, I have been donating blood. We hope that through blood donation, mutual harmony and love among people will increase."
Sandhani Donor Club Pabna's Vice President, Professor Dr. Iftekhar Mahmud, told Voice Seven News, "People in Pabna are enthusiastic about blood donation. That's why we have been able to work for people for generations. We organize camps in schools and colleges to encourage students to donate blood. Through blood donation, one can help others without harming themselves. Besides blood donation, Sandhani Donor Club is also involved in various social activities."
