On 4 August the Former Students of St.Xaviers Doranda (DOXA) lead by Dr. Devendra Singh our vice president gave an awareness programme to all the students of St.Xaviers Hazaribag from class 4 to class 12. This was future looking and also meant to enthuse parents of the students to give blood for the students They were were asked by Dr. Singh and other members of DOXA to ask their parents if they donate blood.

On 5 August,  the birthday of the late Fr. John Moore s.j., founder of the school, HOXA(St.Xaviers Hazaribag Former Students Association) in cooperation with the local Red Cross, organised a blood donation camp. The first to give  blood were the Principal of the school, Fr. P.J.James s.j. and the Vice :Principal, Mr. Cyprian Surin.  98 persons came to give blood and 80 were accepted to donate blood.

This camp was a good example of collaboration between alumni/ae associations.
