On September 19th, 2024, the MOHAN Foundation organised an awareness program on organ donation at Don Bosco Polytechnic College Pulianthope Chennai.

Ms. Arshiya, (Helpline Counsellor) was the resource person deputed from MOHAN Foundation.  Mr. Bharath Sri. K and Divya Dharshini, (interns from the Madras School of Social Work) distributed brochures,  green ribbons to the students.

Ms. Arshiya began the session with a motivational video. Then she started her talk on the Concepts of Organ Donation. She explained the role of MOHAN Foundation. She spoke of the need for organs, what and when donation can happen. She explained brain death, and the difference between brain death and coma. She spoke of tissue and voluntary body donation and also explained the myths & scams on organ donation. She also gave information on the free service of Organ Donation Helpline 1800 103 7100. At the end of her talk Ms. Arshiya played an educational video on brain death.

She explained about Transplant Coordinator courses offered by MOHAN Foundation, its structure, value and fee structure. She also introduced the short duration Angles of Change training. It was an interactive session. Around 70 students participated in the session. This initial response was encouraging us to make the session more interactive.
