Give The Gift of Life!

TIS will be holding its annual blood drive on Thursday, February 19 from 2:30-4:30 p.m. in the MPR. Although all blood types are needed, the Macao Blood Transfusion Service is most in need of the RhD negative blood type, found most commonly in Caucasian people. We encourage the TIS community to come out and support this important school event. Sandwiches and cookies will be available for all those who donate. Please bring some form of identification, such as a Macao ID Card, passport or blue card. Repeat donors need only bring their donor card.
