Blood Donation Activity Initiates the 25th Anniversary of ATVI

Dream - Indonesian Television Academy (ATVI) held a blood donation activity at the ATVI campus complex in Jakarta to enliven the 25th Anniversary celebration, on Tuesday, March 14, 2023.

A total of 64 donors out of 98 registrants have donated their blood for the benefit of the community in need.

ATVI Director Melitina Tecoalu warmly welcomed the enthusiasm of the donors, who consist of lecturers, students, ATVI employees, Indosiar and EMTEK staff, as well as the general public who have been waiting since morning to donate blood.

"Blood donation is very important for those in need, especially for people who are sick. With this blood donation event, we are reminded to have compassion for others," said Melitina in her statement on Wednesday, March 15, 2023.

Melitina hopes that the essence of blood donation activities will inspire the ATVI academic community to continue improving human resources.

Meanwhile, the Secretary of the Indonesian Red Cross (PMI) West Jakarta, Ujang Sungkawa, said that blood donation can prevent various diseases if done regularly.

"Diseases that can be prevented by blood donation," said Ujang Sungkana, "include reducing the risk of heart disease, reducing the risk of cancer, reducing the risk of stroke, and helping to keep our liver healthy."

Ujang mentioned that there are several requirements that donors must meet in order to donate blood. Among them, donors must be healthy and their blood must not be contaminated with viruses or drugs. The minimum number of registrants for blood donation is 75 people.

"We will carry out the blood donation activity for free and provide vitamins and food for the donors," said Ujang.

After the blood donation activity, the ATVI Anniversary celebration will continue with the launch of a book written by ATVI lecturers titled "Perspectives on Communication, Digital Media, and Cultural Dynamics," published by Prenada Media.

It will then be followed by a content creator competition for high school students throughout Indonesia and the grand finale of the Anniversary celebration, which will be held on May 27, 2023.
