On 4^th August, 2017 MOHAN Foundation Mumbai was invited by Prof. H G Pradhan of Vishweshwar Education Society’s Western College of Commerce and Business Management, Sanpada, Navi Mumbai to conduct an organ donation awareness for its NSS Students.

After sharing a brief introduction about MOHAN Foundation and its activities, Mr. Amit A Shenoy spoke about what is Organ Donation, why is it needed, who can be donors and the process of how organ donation and transplantation is done. He also discussed the various barriers, myths and facts relating to organ donation.  He went on to share his personal story of how he decided to work towards furthering the cause of organ donation after his father underwent a liver transplant last year.

A lot of queries were asked regarding the process of organ donation as well as the process of registration on the waiting list. Mr.Amit Shenoy and Mrs.Jaya Jairam answered all the queries.

Out of the 100 odd participants, around 25 students took the pledge to donate their organs.

We wish to convey our gratitude to Prof. H G Pradhan for organising the session, thereby supporting the cause.
