YOGYAKARTA (May 27, 2022) - In the commemoration of the National Awakening Day on 20 May 2022 and the Elderly Day on 29 May 2022, the Yogyakarta Social Welfare Education and Training Center (BBPPKS) held a mass blood donation and distribution of necessities to the elderly in BBPPKS Yogyakarta.

The head of BBPPKS Yogyakarta, Eva Rahmi Kasim, in her speech said that this activity is a form of the institution's care for the residents around BBPPKS.

“We are here not only to provide training but also to provide benefits for our residents. We want to be loved by the community, respected and needed as a government agency," explained Eva.

In addition to distributing necessities for the elderly, BBPPKS Yogyakarta in collaboration with the Red Cross (PMI) of Sleman Regency carried out blood donation activities which were attended by 31 people who were employees and the surrounding community.

“Blood donation is very necessary because a drop of our blood means a lot to other people. Besides that, blood donation is healthy for us and can save other people," concluded Eva.

Hopefully in the future blood donation activities can become a routine activity as a form of concern for others.
