Petrochemists from Novokuibyshevsk took part in the “I am a Donor” campaign. – Russia today Posting in CHAT: Russia Voluntary blood donation has already become a common benefit for employees of Novokuybyshevsk Petrochemical Company JSC - the “I am a Donor” campaign has been taking place in the company since 2016. Over eight years, 906 employees have taken part in this important undertaking and more than 450 liters of blood have been donated. This year, on the eve of National Blood Donor Day, 113 donors supported the campaign. Since the number of people wishing to donate blood increases every year, a mobile blood transfusion station specially comes to the enterprise, which serves as an additional convenience for the plant workers. But the main motivation for participation in this humanitarian activity, of course, is deeper - in case of blood loss, only a person can help a person. Therefore, by donating blood, a donor literally saves the life of another. If we assume that three to four people can receive one 450-milliliter portion of whole blood or its components, then over eight years the company’s employees have helped save more than 3.5 thousand lives. Among the volunteers there are honorary donors who annually contribute to the regional blood bank. Leonid Ponamarenko, Deputy Head of the Production and Technical Department of NNK JSC, is very glad that the company actively supports and promotes charity. “I regularly participate in events held as part of the corporate program “Platform of Good Deeds,” says Leonid. — The program is actively developing in the company - we see this in the number of people who responded to the call of the organizers. Everything is very conveniently organized. There is no need to go to a special institution, a mobile blood transfusion center, I believe that such events are important for every person. But also for me it’s about helping people.” For employees of NOC JSC, volunteering has become an important social trend. The volunteer movement, created under the auspices of the company’s “Platform of Good Deeds” program, united not only employees, their children and relatives, but also production veterans and Rosneft class students. The company has formed a volunteer team. The total number of volunteers today is more than 500 people. “Rosneft Volunteers” actively work in both the social and environmental spheres. Over the two years of implementation of the program, almost 40 important and useful events have already been organized. Source link Source link
