“Blood Donors are Social Heroes”; Successful Blood Drive in Tampa, Florida
A total of 32 big hearted heroes donated blood at the blood drive in Tampa. Florida jointly organized by Nepalese Association in Southeast America (NASeA), Florida Association of Nepali Societies (FANS) and Nepalese Student Association at the University of South Florida (NeSAUSF). The donors of Nepali origin were Dr. Bhaskar Dawadi, Hari Adhikari, Bimal Nepal, Kumud Bhattarai, Dhana Khadka, Hemu Adhikari, Keshav Pokhrel, Dibya Koirala, Ramchandra Kafle, Dr. Netra Khanal, Gopal Raj Suwal, Januka Khanal, and Sanjeeb Sapkota. The rest of the donors were of non-nepali origin who enthusiastically waited for their turn in long line for the donation. This reflected the spirit of “Giving back to the Community”, the motto of the NASeA’s blood drive. “Blood donors are social heroes” was written on the certificate of appreciation that were handed out to each of the donors.
The drive was held on a bus operated by ‘Florida Blood Services’ that stayed parked at the huge parking lot of a movie theater ‘Muvico’, a franchise movie company.
“The blood drive would not have successful without the critical help of the volunteers who included the young boy Sauriyan Sapkota, Jagannath Devkota, Suhshil Bhattachan, Sabina Sapkota, Arjun Dahal, Hari Adhikari and family, Sushma Khadka, Avash Bhattachan, Binash Adhikari, Choodmani Khanal”, said Dr. Lila Bahadur Karki, the coordinator of the drive and the NASeA chair of the Community Services Committee. He further said, “They all deserve a jumbo thank you and appreciation”. The families of students at USF worked behind the scene to prepare food for the volunteers and donors.
“Our big thanks also go to NASeA president, Sanjeeb Sapkota, who has been deeply committed to making the drive successful and who was instrumental in energizing the whole donation effort until the drive was over.” Dr. Karki said.
“I am proud that FANS and the students from University of South Florida are part of this historic event” said Bimal Nepal, president of FANS and the joint secretary of NASeA.
Community Services Committee of NASeA has prepared a long list of upcoming blood drives for 2012 and some of them will held in Athens, Georgia, Auburn, Alabama, Nashville, Tennessee. Others will be held in North Carolina, Kentucky, Atlanta, (GA), Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tallahassee, (Florida) and many more to come.

Dear friends,
Please help this innocent 11 year girl, Sarita D.C., in Nepal and who has fallen victim of the rare but dangerous disease called ITP (Immune Thrombocytic Purpura) in which her blood system does not produce enough plateletes to effectively counter bleeding. “Without enough platelets, bleeding can occur inside the body (internal bleeding) or underneath or from the skin (external bleeding).” Read more about ITP in this website. http://www.nhlbi.nih.gov/health/health-topics/topics/itp/Many Nepalese, individually or organizationally, have come forward to assist Sarita in Nepal financially and morally. Here are videos and links that tells about the girl and her condition.
NASeA advisor in Nepal Goverdhan Shrestha spoke to Sarita’s mother in Nepal who explained that she needs blood transfusion every two week to replenish the amount of platelets in her body. She would require around 30,000 NRs at every session of transfusion. To meet her immediate financial needs for the transfusion, NASeA is raising funds via online donation. NASeA requests you all to donate any amount that you could to help the girl live. For the long term, NASeA is talking with other organizations if sustainable treatment could be sought for her.
Thank you,
Sanjeeb Sapkota
President, NASeA
