On 23^rd Sept 2017, Mrs.Jaya Jairam was invited by Mrs. Manjiri Deshpande, President of the Inner Wheel Club of Thane North End for creating organ donation awareness among its members as well as for Rotaracters.

Mrs.Jaya Jairam started with a brief introduction about MOHAN Foundation and its activities. She went on to speak about what is Organ Donation, why is it needed, who can be donors and the process of how organ donation and transplantation is done. She also discussed the various barriers, myths and facts relating to organ donation.

Some of the members of audience wanted to know if organs can be stored, while certain others wanted to know how which tissues can be donated when someone passes away at home. All the queries were satisfactorily clarified.

Mrs.Jaya Jairam then went on to share her own story of how her kidneys had failed and how she was saved when her mother donated one of her kidneys to her. She also shared how this inspired her to further the cause of deceased organ donation.

MOHAN Foundation is extremely grateful to Mrs.Manonmani Sivaraj, the First lady of the Inner Wheel club who was invited as the chief guest. Our sincerest thanks to Mrs.Manjiri Deshpande, who organised the awareness session.
