The COVID-19 pandemic marks an unprecedented time in modern history that will require the best of humanity to overcome. The world is grappling with possibly the worst public health crisis seen in more than a century. The new coronavirus has taken thousands of lives and spread to nearly every country in the world. The COVID-19 pandemic has gripped nations, compelling governments to impose countrywide lockdowns to contain the spread of the deadly virus. This crisis threatens everyone's way of life, but it is especially difficult for people who are already vulnerable, including those with pre-existing medical conditions, older adults, individuals experiencing homelessness, refugees and migrants, wage workers, and those with inflexible jobs.

Doranda Old Xaverians (DOX), the Alumni associations of St. Xavier's School, Doranda organized a Blood donation camp at St. Xavier's School on 15th April 2020. Utsav Parashar, Secretary of DOX mentioned that a total of 26 units of blood was donated by Members and their friends. The blood collected will go to the day care center of Sadar Hospital for the Kids suffering from Thalassemia.

Life Savers Ranchi, an organization committed towards the cause of Blood donation partnered with DOX to make this event successful. Some of the highlights from this event was the venue was completely sanitized right before the Blood donation started. The Donors were Pre registered and were allotted time slots to avoid any crowd. Social distancing was observed throughout the duration of the camp and all the people working there were well equipped with Masks, Gloves and Sanitizers.
