Young people from the Seventh-day Adventist Church donated their blood to help patients at the Edgardo Rebagliati Martins National Hospital in Lima and the San Martin Blood Bank in Tarapoto, Peru.
This action was developed under the "Life for Lives" solidarity campaign on Sabbath, March 18, 2023, for Global Young Day (GYD). This donation increases people's life expectancy and quality, in addition to helping in the realization of medical procedures and treating the injured during emergencies of all kinds, including natural disasters and accidents.
This campaign was created in 2005 and awarded in 2006 by the World Health Organization. The campaign adds thousands of donors annually. Adventist young people are already in the habit of donating blood.
In this way, the "Life for Lives" campaign promoted by the Adventist Church has been benefiting society—an action of witnessing Christ's love and a Christian principle of helping others.
