What a brilliant idea !

I recently attended the mourning ceremony of my uncle, who had passed away 14 days ago. The traditional rituals and religious ceremonies were performed to mark his death , and friends and family members came to pay their condolences. I was very impressed that at this time his son had organised a blood donation camp, so that whoever wished to could donate a bottle of blood in his memory ! They collected over 150 units of blood in a few hours - what a great way of paying your respects ! I wish more people would do something like this at social occasions such as weddings and funerals !
