Sikhs to hold mega blood donation camp in Punjab
Jagmohan Singh

AMRITSAR: A host of Sikh organizations, have come together to organize a blood donation camp at Anandpur Sahib on 10 March, 2009 and they have put in place gigantic plans to make it the world’s largest blood donation drive in a single day. Vying to beat the Guiness record of the Sauda Dera of Sirsa, Harpreet Singh of Akal Purakh ki Fauj, has said that, “if all Sikh organizations sink their differences and join hands, we will be able to create a new record and the credit would go to Guru Khalsa Panth.”  

The Holla Mohalla festival attracts lakhs of pilgrims from all over Punjab and the rest of the country.  The Hola Mohalla festival is the festival of truth, courage, bravery and service.  

Speaking to WSN, Harpreet Singh said that, “The minimum target is 25000 units in 24 hours which will be the Largest Blood Donation in one single day across the world.”  Due to humanitarian and philanthropic nature of the event, it is likely to be extensively covered by the print and satellite media. A team of Guiness would be monitoring the event for record purposes as well. 

The programme carries the blessings of Akal Takht Sahib and the organizers have request all and sundry amongst the Sikhs to come forward.  “It is time to strengthen our Panthic image” said Jaswinder Singh Khalsa who is the driving force behind the mega event. 

All organizations worldwide, willing to participate, assist in any way, may contact Harpreet Singh at 00 91 9216898827 or through email at harpreetsingh80@gmail.com
