  • Every bottle of this blood donation drive will be collected by different hospitals in mumbai for the needy.
  • The idea of this germinates from the fact that people from different parts of the country converge at different hospitals in our city to cure their loved ones.
  • At times, there is an urgent requirement for blood,therefore it’s our moral duty as part of a ‘responsible’ society to volunteer as a donors.
  • In the spirit of such a cause, mixed with the element of entertainment, we bring to you ‘Musical Blood Donation Drive’.

Imagine yourself engaging in a social cause and having fun at the same time.

This event will be conducted once in every three months and will feature big and small artistes. The drive will also have experts speaking about aspects20of blood donation. The participation of students and young professionals is crucial to such drives, both in terms of magnitude and creating awareness thereby encouraging more to volunteer for the same in future.There will be live performances by artistes\bands throughout the day, while people will be donating blood. This will be an open house where artistes and bands will be invited to perform onstage.In this endeavor, we look for your support and maximum participation for the betterment of our society.

Enjoy the adrenaline rush at the concert and let your blood rush to the people who need it the most.

Company profile: AID INDIA – Foundation and History-About 15 years ago, group of Indian graduate students in the University of Maryland College Park, USA, had heated debates about the best ways to help to help the poor in villages in India. From these discussions grew the Association for India’s Development (AID) in 1991. From 1991 till 1994, AID was very small group of people who mainly raised small donations from individuals (mostly students) and supported a number of NGOs in India. The students would also visit these projects to get a better feel for development work.In 1995, some of the volunteers decided to return to India to start off direct field work. The opportunity to have their own people working on the field excited the volunteers and soon this drew a much larger and more committed bunch of volunteers into the organization. Within a year the organization grew from one to 25 chapters across the US – with volunteers in colleges across the USA.In 1996, AID INDIA was registered in Chennai by Balaji Sampath and in 1997, after completing his PhD, he returned to India to work fulltime on issues of Education, Health and Livelihood. The first few years were spent in drawing more volunteers and building up a team in Tamilnadu. AID INDIA also focused a lot on health and education projects at this time. Right from the beginning we partnered with other NGOs to both learn from them as well as help them with our ideas and resources.From 2000-2003, our volunteer base in Tamilnadu grew quite significantly. Chandra Anil, a hardware engineer quit her job and joined us fulltime. Ravishankar, who was part of AID in the US, quit his job at IBM and joined our work. A team of young college students and fresh graduates joined us – Damodharan, Gomathi, Prabha, etc. Our field team also developed with a number of experienced field coordinators who joined us – Samundeswari, Baskar, Srinivasan, etc. Educationists, Dr. V. Vasanthi Devi and Dr. R.Ramanujam also joined our team as advisors. Our work on the field began to grow. We expanded our base to about 1000 villages across the state. We also began to specialize more and more on education.
In 2004, we divided our group into 5 major teams:

1. Primary Education (Reading and Math)
2. Secondary Science Education
3. Pre-primary Education
4. Libraries and Community Learning Initiatives
5. Life Skills and Health Education Team
Later on to these teams were added a team on Secondary Math Education and a team on English. Each team worked on developing materials and programs and began to scale up their ideas. In 2004, we also formed Eureka Books – to publish and distribute our materials more widely.
