For a noble cause

THE Penang Recreation Club (PRC) held a successful blood donation campaign for the first time at the G Hotel in Gurney Drive recently.

 

PRC honorary secretary Podim Hatia said a total of 46 donors, who came forward to donate blood, were mostly youngsters and first timers.

“We want to thank them, the Penang Hospital Blood Bank Department as well as the G Hotel management for supporting the event,” Podim said.
