The AMUOBA Blood Donation Camp was organized in the school on the 24th of January. We had a healthy turn out of donors (126 in total) and in spite of our best intentions, we had to turn down a few people towards the end of the camp as the Blood Bank Society could only accept around 100 units at that time.
We would like to thank all the parents and the Old Boys for their continuing support towards this noble cause. Also, a special thanks to the Batch of 2001 for sponsoring and supporting the Camp.
