Leschaco Thailand is committed to promoting a healthy community and supporting those in need. We are proud to highlight the participation of our employees in the recent blood donation drive on September 18, organized in collaboration with the Thai Red Cross Society.
This marks our third blood donation drive this year, and we had 20 volunteers participate. Notably, Khun Christine Russel-Wittebrood, Managing Director of Leschaco Thailand also took part in this meaningful activity.
Blood donation is a significant act of charity, embodying the spirit of giving. Each individual can donate approximately 350–450 cc of blood, depending on their body weight, which accounts for about 10–12% of the total blood volume. Remarkably, this single donation can help up to three patients in need. After donating, the body continuously replaces lost blood cells, with red blood cells circulating for about 120 days.
Here are some additional benefits of donating blood:
- Function: Donating blood encourages the bone marrow to produce new red blood cells.
Donors gain valuable knowledge about their blood type in the ABO and Rh systems.
Regular donation can lower the risk of various diseases, including liver, lung, and colorectal cancer.
Blood donation promotes better circulation and can enhance skin radiance.
Donating blood fosters a sense of fulfillment by helping fellow human beings in their time of need.
THANK YOU to all participants in the blood donation drive. Together, we are making a significant difference in the lives of others and nurturing a culture of health and care within our community.
Let’s continue to support one another and make a positive impact!
