As part of the international SocialErasmus project, encouraging young citizens to participate in volunteering activities that take social action during their mobility, ESN Jyväskylä has decided to go donate blood. We welcome all exchange students and ESN enthusiasts to join our little trip to SPR Jyväskylä to act for a good cause!
WHEN: 10th of October, 16:00-18:00
WHERE: SPR Veripalvelu, Blood Donation Center, Kalevankatu 8 (in the city center)
SIGN UP: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScFAs_eJKF1GMuEofCbVWn17316Nez2...
Donating blood is, of course, free of charge and SPR Jyväskylä provides donors all necessities including some food, snacks and beverages (and who knows, maybe free overall patches as well) on the spot. The Blood Donation Center, SPR Veripalvelu, has been reserved for ESN from 16:00 until 18:00 but if you can't make it there right in the beginning, no worries because there is plenty of time reserved for latecomers as well.
10 first people to sign up (not binding) through the link given above can join the actual donating but in case of higher demand we'll find a way to organise a second blood donating for those missing the first one in October! ;) Friends coming for support are of course more than welcome, too.
Last but not least - the three MOST IMPORTANT THINGS to know before going donating blood in Finland:
1) To find out if there is anything that could prevent you from donating blood (recently taken tattoo or vaccination, infection ect.), please do this short test by SPR, provided also fully in English: http://www.sovinkoluovuttajaksi.fi/#
2) You must bring a legal document (paper version) of your Finnish social security number, which you already probably have gotten as you registered by the police/by city administrative court after arriving in Jyväskylä.
3) Bring your European passport with you to prove your identity on spot at SPR.
Let's do this! In case you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact us!
