Man alone is capable of service. That is special glory, unique skill - Sathya Sai Baba
Bhajans are organised for every blood donation drive to allow the blood donors, supporters and blood recipients to derive maximum benefit from a spiritually charged environment, to purify the location throughout the day and to make the blood donation experience an enjoyable one for all. Each year, a Mega Blood Drive is organised that apart from bhajans, includes a cultural programme. The last Mega Blood Drive was attended by over a 800 people, and saw the involvement of a professional Indian classical music troupe and participants from the various Sai centres in Singapore for the cultural programme. |

Blood drives organised by the Sathya Sai Organisation are like a fun day out with the family for a noble cause. Lunch/prasadam is served, donors and supporters stay around even after they have donated blood to sing bhajans, volunteer in preparing and serving food, keep the place clean, maintain order and support the Singapore Red Cross during registration and pre-registration. Apart from the spirit of selfless service, one also becomes more aware of the constant need for blood in Singapore, as there is plenty of opportunity in the course of the whole day to speak to the nurses and administrators present.
History
Divineblood was officially launched on 28th August 2004 by Mr Inderjit Singh, MP for Ang Mo Kio GRC. The Sri Sathya Sai Organisation of Singapore is a non-sectarian service oriented organisation consisting of people of all faiths and races. We have been actively organising regular blood donation drives for the past 9 years, the first being on the 29th of September 1996. The organisation realized the need to get involved in this priceless social service which was lacking support from the public.
Since the first blood donation drive, the organisation has achieved much success in holding the event. The figures have changed dramatically, from collecting close to a 100 units of blood every year, we now collect about 650 units of blood annually holding blood donation drives every three months. The Sathya Sai Organisation is the top organiser for blood drives in the Religious/Schools/Grassroots Blood Mobiles Category (Red Cross) and has been recognized for its efforts by the Singapore Red Cross for its invaluable contribution to society.
However, this is still not enough. As our supply increased, so did the demand and hospitals today still face a shortage of blood as they not only require large amounts of blood for transplants, emergency operations, etc. but also need to maintain a regular supply of blood.
Hopefully this website will give you an insight about donating blood and inspire you to do your part for society, to become blood donors because BLOOD DONORS are LIFE SAVERS.
