Both Tali and Darang said that giving blood is giving life and there can’t be any better noble work than this. “During the 90s and in the later years people used to face several hardships for seeking blood, as there was a certain taboo against donating blood.

PAWS led by Er. Hage Pilya, Chairman and Er. Hage Tazang, Gen. Secretary expressed their thankfulness to both Tali and Darang for motivating and appreciating the entire Apatani members residing in and around Pasighat.
During the blood donation camp a total of 50 members volunteered themselves to donate blood. But due to some medical reasons only 19 units could be donated.
