Blood banks are in scarce supply in Cambodia and your donation really will save a life. Many humanitarian-aid agencies use Siem Reap as a base for raising funds and treating rural peoples. The Kantha Bopha (Jayavarman VII.) Children Hospital in Siem Reap (Angkor), on the main road to the temples always looking for blood donors to help young patients through the most trying periods of acute dysentery and hemorrhagic fever. Patients often make it to these centers from rural parts in dire circumstances and need immediate blood transfusions to make it through their first days. It only takes half an hour. The equipment is all safe and sterile. The blood donations are desperately needed from the young and money from anyone else.
I decided to donate blood to the blood bank on Christmas Eve day (24th of December). I was the 3126th donor in this year and (the last) this day.
