YFB in People’s View This week we are publishing people’s view about YFB in their words rather than an editorial. Hope you all will be sending us your feedback and support us in our campaign. Come let’s see what people have to say:

Having no compassion

means denying human existence, I think. The people with humanity are involved in different sectors of social service. Social service is the greatest charity. Youth for Blood is a campaign initiated by youths who are dedicated for such charitable works. Started from Biratnagar, this campaign has been successful to cover the whole of the eastern region. I wish the campaign could spread across the nation, everyone would have access to the blood and everyone could escape the death. I wish all the people dedicated to social service would join Youth for Blood. I wish all the best!”
