The indomitable spirit
Teamwork is the ability to work together toward a common vision.
Today's blood donation camp held was a little different than what we were doing earlier. We had Teachers and parents of DBL as donors of the blood donation camp, courtesy Fr. Manoj Jose.
The difference was the coming together of people of different dimensions, to converge on a common mission. Lot of people were working hard to ensure a bigger, better approach to the camp. Every year (except last year) we have always tried to put up a very good show with considerable amount of support and guidance from our Salesian Father's. I would like to thank Fr. Thomas Gomes, Fr. Manoj Jose, Fr. Anandraj and Fr. Mani for their gracious presence. Heartiest thanks to the members of the Lions Club of Howrah also for their presence.
No event can be done without a proper decorated venue. Anil Agrawal deserves the accolades for this as well as for the snacks. I extend my thanks to Kamal Agarwal, Saurabh Ag, Raunak Poddar, Arpit Bansal, Yogesh Goel, Naresh Poddar, Mahip Mittal, Sanjay, Binay Yadav, Vishal Adukia, Nikhil Ag, Bikash Saraf, etc for their hardwork. Simultaneously we acknowledge the support of the seniors Kamal Agarwal, Binod Adukia, Santosh Agarwal, Rajiv Tikmany, Vineet Agarwal and Raj Lohariwal.
The absence of a large chunk of regular donors from our membership roster is most shocking and painful. Also is a disspointment of many regular members being absent from our events.
My heartfelt thanks to all the donors and to all who turned up. We had 112 registrations in total. With 11 rejections we had 101 donors. A good number owing to the current scenario.
Let's become more involved in future.
With regards,
Biswanath Trivedi
