Two weeks ago ESN KTU (Erasmus Student Network of Kaunas University of Technology) invited all the students to become real-life heroes by donating their blood.
Blood donation initiative (which is not the first one organised by ESN) took place at KTU’s Faculty of Electrical and Electronics Engineering during the lunch break. All the fears of blood or needles were pushed away by friendly doctors, volunteers and friends and at the end this event attracted 46 participants.
Many international degree and exchange students of Erasmus+ programme willingly gave their blood to a good cause. What is even more astonishing, two hours weren‘t enough for this social event because more than 20 people got stuck in the queue and didn’t make it on time to give their blood.
The representatives of Blood Centre of The Hospital of Lithuanian University of Health Sciences was amazed and happy that international students donated their blood so benevolently, and ESN KTU couldn’t have been more proud.
The blood donation initiative is only one of many social events ESN KTU is organising every year. International students prove to be socially responsible no matter where they are coming from or where they are staying at the moment.
