Salman Khan's 'Being Human' charity foundation - which was launched
with the objective of helping needy people in any way possible - today
expands it's horizons by partnering with the Marrow Donor Registry India
(MDRI). It is a symbiotic kind of partnership, wherein both are
motivated to create a world-class registry of marrow donors in India for
patients who have blood-related illnesses. Being Human and MDRI are
primarily targeting the youth by working with colleges to create
awareness of the need for such a registry in India.
One of the first colleges to participate in this initiative is the KJ Somaiya Institute of Engineering and IT, Sion. As part of their annual college festival, Surge'11, Somaiya will conduct a marrow donation drive on their premises, along with a 'Marrow - Thon' - a 6 km run showing support for the cause. Surge '11 will be held from March 3rd to March 5th, 2011.
We congratulate Sallu Bhai and wish him all the success on this well meaning initiative!
