Dear Sir,
I would like to take two minutes of yours to discuss about a most
important development area in our country where you can be a part of.
Your willingness to support this cause will help you extend your life
for at least to nine generations.
Dr Anant Kumar, senior consultant in urology and kidney
transplantation at New Delhi's Indraprastha Apollo Hospital and an
expert in the area of organ donation, estimates that anywhere between
two and three million Indians may have died in the last five years
because they could not get an organ transplant.
Dr Sunil Shroff of Chennai, managing trustee of the Multi Organ
Harvesting Aid Network foundation, an NGO that promotes organ
donation, says: "Healthy people are unaware of the sufferings of
patients with organ failure."
While in the US the organ donation rate is 25 to million people, in
India it is 0.05 to million people (although India has among the
world's highest number of deaths from road accidents).
In order to create the awareness of "Organ Donation" and to clear
various misconceptions and myths that surround organ donation, Avvai
Tamil Sangam & Charitable Society, Noida & Multi Organ Harvesting Aid
Network foundation, Chennai joined together and planned for a mass
awareness program in Noida from Jan 23-26, 2010 in The Great India
Place Mall, Noida where the expected foot fall is around 1.5 lakh per
day on these days. There will be cultural programs from 12 -7 PM
centered around this theme.
There will be Help Desks to clear the doubts and provide clarification
on organ donation as well as registration of Donors. Those register
for donating organs will be provided with "Donor Cards that can be
carried in wallets to makes it easier for you to be a donor if--God
forbid--something should happen to you"
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to this "India
Cultural Festival with a Social theme DONATE ORGAN" and be a donor and
be proud to say " LIFE- PASS IT ON"
We also take this opportunity to request to kindly support by
providing financial support to promote this cause. Donations can be
sent by cheque or DD in the name of "Avvai Tamil Sangam & Charitable
Society" payable at Noida to our address 901, Sector-37, Noida.
