This special day was originally instituted to raise awareness regular needed blood donations all over the world. This year, with the sponsorship of Pastor Chris Oyakhilome of Christ Embassy, the NGO Trauma Care International will hold a huge blood drive in the many Christ Embassy Churches around the globe. Donating blood is something Pastor Chris recommends to his listeners on a regular basis. Doing so, he says, helped provide needed life-saving natural resources to health institutions.

The goal of this institution is to provide health and emergency services to those in desperate need of it. The vast majority of its recipients are very poor so the foundation provides its services for free. Every procedure done under their care is subsidized by the foundation. The foundation doesn’t just run a single clinic but is working to create a worldwide network of blood donators. In addition, the institution supports medical research and procedures all over the world.
