On July 23, 2024, the MOHAN Foundation set up an information desk at the Korattur Bus Terminus to promote awareness on organ donation. Ms. Arshiya (Helpline counsellor), along with Ms. Maheswari and Ms. Swethapriya (interns from MOHAN Foundation), set up an information desk and distributed brochures and green ribbon to people at the bus terminus and nearby shops.
People began reading the brochures immediately, showing real interest in the information provided. There were many autos in the bus stand and the auto drivers were enthusiastic to know what was being distributed and came forward to find out about Organ Donation. The shop owners halted their work for few minutes and read the brochures distributed. One from the public who is a rotary member clarified his queries and he was informed about the Gift Of Life: Organ Donation Ambassador program. The response was positive.
Queries asked:
1. How to create an awareness on organ donation
2. Who is called as ambassador and what is their role
More than 100 brochures were distributed to the public at the bus terminus.
MOHAN Foundation thanks MTC and officials of the Korattur Bus Terminus for giving this opportunity.
