On Independence day, 15^th August, 2016 MOHAN Foundation was invited by Comtel Business Solutions to put up a stall on organ donation as part of their awareness camp.

An amazing initiative taken up by Mr. D.K Kanniraj, Managing Director, Comtel Business Solutions to organize an awareness camp twice every year for the staff and public in the area. On every January 26^th and August 15^th for the past 11 years they have been organizing awareness camps on Blood donation and Eye donation. Mr. D. K Kanniraj who has already pledged to be an Organ Donor through MOHAN Foundation in 2014 had a keen interest in putting up an Organ Donation Awareness Stall during this awareness camp.

Among the other stalls put up such as Blood Donation by Madras Voluntary Blood Bureau and Eye check up by Amrith Hospital- Ashwini Eye Clinic, MOHAN Foundation had a put up a stall on organ donation represented by Ms. Ann Alex.

Ms. Ann gave a talk about organ donation, different types of donations,  types of deaths, what is brain stem death, organs and tissues which can be donated by a living person, organs and tissues which can be donated by a deceased person, importance of a donor card, importance of informing family members and shared some FAQ’s asked by the public.

Questions such as who will take care of the expenses, who decides the allocation of organ, do the donor families get any rewards, does MOHAN Foundation keep a check on the medical condition of those who have pledged their organs were raised.

During the camp, videos by MOHAN Foundation kept playing in the background which attracted the people.

Mr. A. David Manager - Admin, Mr. Madhan. R and Mr. Venkat Raman did an excellent job spreading awareness about organ donation, encouraging the staff and public to register by explaining about organ donation and documenting the names of the donors. 30 donor cards were picked up.

It is people like these that help us work towards achieving our cause.
