TRANSCRIPT
Each time before I set forth on an Organ Donation Talk or Awareness Campaign, I
always have these distilled PICTURES in my mind.
P- That I am Passionate with and a love for this noble cause as it instills the
organ donation awareness to the general public, organ donation, the Gift of Life, one can
save life by donating his or her organs upon untimely death caused by accidents
I-Taking Initiative to strike a conversation on organ donation, and enquiring with
the National Transplant Resource Centre whether or not they require my assistance in
their organ donation awareness campaign; for at times they do face shortage of
manpower to manage the counters in the event of too many campaigns concurrently
happening in a day
C- To be able to Communicate the topic in the simplest possible language
to potential organ donor pledges, dialysis patients or transplant recipients. Being tri-
lingual gives me this added advantage
T-Time is a common denominator to everyone on earth as each individual is
entitled to 24 hours a day. I plan my schedule, with the blessings and with understanding
of my family, quite often, I devote my leisure or postpone personal appointments, to
participate in organ donation awareness campaign.
U-Understand from the other person’s point of view relating to organ
donation; I explain to allay their fears to put them at ease in order to put the message
across to get their better understanding of the subject.
R-Research in the topic through reading materials of relevance from the
webpage of Critical Research Centre or search engines, and responsible of my talk as
each word of the topic carries an act of meaning to the potential organ pledges.
E- AmEver grateful to the Bender family for their altruism in given me a second
chance in life. Expect nothing in return in the work of volunteerism; a philosophy that my
paternal grandmother instilled into us; we must forget the assistance that we had rendered
to the unfortunate, but to remember the kindness the others who had extended to us
during difficult times.
S- A Supportive family and derive the greatest satisfaction for the noble act as
ORGAN DONATION SAVES LIVES!
