05th October 2017, Hyderabad : Evoke Technologies as part of its CSR initiative conducted a blood donation drive to support kids suffering from Thalassemia, an inherited blood disorder that can affect bodily functions severely. Around 4-5% of the Indian population is affected by Thalassemia and approximately 10,000 children are born with Thalassemia. The treatment is considered to be painful and expensive.
The blood donation drive, which was conducted at Evoke’s, Hyderabad office received an enthusiastic response from its employees. A large number of employees were seen waiting in queues to donate their blood for this noble cause. Speaking about the blood donation drive, Mr. Ramesh Mantana, Director HR at Evoke said: “we’re extremely happy to be a part of such an initiative and associate with Thalassemia and Sickle Cell society that works tirelessly for such a worthy cause.” Evoke’s CSR team thanked each and every participant for taking an active part in the event. Here are some pictures from the blood donation drive. Each year Evoke’s CSR team conducts multiple activities for the larger good of society. The CSR team’s core focus areas remain healthcare, education, environment, etc. In the coming weeks, Evoke’s CSR team is planning to invite a team from the ‘Autism Research & Multidisciplinary School (ARMS)’ to showcase and sell handmade Diwali goodies (Diya’s, Greeting Cards, Chocolates, Paper Bags, etc.) created by specially-abled kids from the institute. We will keep you posted with updates from this event.
