TAIPEI (Taiwan News)—A 20-year-old Taiwanese girl along with 29 other young people
Chung Chia-ling (鍾佳凌) is making her 14th blood donation (By Central News Agency)
on Sunday urged the public to donate blood before the Chinese New Year holiday as blood stocks are running low.
The Taipei Blood Center of the Taiwan Blood Services Foundation (TBSF) mobilized 30 young students to come forward to call for young people between 17 and 20 to cultivate the habit of donating blood voluntarily to stock the blood banks with enough blood that is readily available to help save lives. The legal age to donate blood in Taiwan is 17 years old.
Chung Chia-ling (鍾佳凌), who just turned 20 and is a student at the Nursing Department of Chang Gung University of Science and Technology, has donated blood 14 times, which is the most numerous among the group of students who participated in the campaign for blood donation. [FULL STORY]
