Mexico | The GEAP promotes a culture of voluntary blood donation

Through the PEC LIFE Communication Educational Program, the Global Embassy of Activists for Peace (GEAP) in Mexico held sensitization sessions in June to strengthen the culture of voluntary, altruistic and regular donation of safe blood.

The talks were given in the family and community in the cities of Loma de Palma, Tierra Blanca, Cosoleacaque, Teziutlan, Villa Hermosa, Hueyapan de Ocampo, Poza Rica, Catemaco, Villa Ocuiltzapotlan, Centro, Tabasco and Veracruz municipalities.

 

To sensitize more effectively, GEAP volunteers visited various religious institutions and communities to give talks and present audio-visual material on voluntary donations as an act of love for others. (See participating institutions and personalities)

376 people received the educational program developed by the GEAP as one of the objectives of the Integral Program: Life is in the Blood. Data was taken and dates were scheduled to visit 11 different families.
