A prestigious and compassion-driven blood donation camp was organized at Aligarh Institute of Technology (AIT), Karachi. The purpose of the camp was to collect blood donations for children battling cancer under the care of the Child Aid Association (CAA).
The event was jointly organized by the Department of DIIL, the Guidance Center of AIT, and the Child Aid Association (CAA).
