Methodology:

We organise this event in all LCs at least one time per year in every LC, our members start by contacting blood center in their city, then agreeing on a target university and specific date, they also coordinate with the university about it.
Then our members take trainings about blood donation in order to improve their knowledge and skills and be able to talk and impact target students.
The day of the event, the blood center brings nurses, techniciens, and necessary materials, and our members start to set up the the place, then talk to students, explain to then the need and importance of blood donation, and invite them to donate.

Plans for evaluation:

we evaluate the activity by counting the number of blood pins that we have collected, counting the number of students that we were able to reach and interact with, also by testing our members’ knowledge after the trainings to see if there is any improvement.
