  6. Volunteer opportunities: Blood donation • Every minute of every day, someone needs blood. That blood can only come from a volunteer donor.There is no substitute for donation.  • A blood donation occurs when a healthy person voluntarily has blood drawn and used for transfusions. • The actual process takes 20minutes • All donated blood is extensively tested Before being distributed.

  7. ARTICLES • Donating blood to the Red Cross: my scare ( Sept. 15th, 2010). • The story of Patrick Earley, a Huntington Beach man who has been donating platelets for 18 years

  8. Increase awareness of blood donating

  9. KEYS TO ARTICULATE LEARNING • We learned, that donating blood may not only benefit the person who received the blood cells but also improve the health of the donor. • We learned this when we participated as volunteers at the American Red Cross and shared with some donors. • This learning matters because every single blood donation can help save up to 3 lives, and every 2 seconds, someone in America needs blood. • In light of this learning we need to realize the importance of donating blood and getting involved in the process.
