and you do not experience any sort of weakness because of this.
Today I have many students who donate blood. There are many
things that we can donate but it is not possible by everyone. Like if
you have to donate knowledge you will have to become a very
knowledgeable person, if you have to donate money you have to be
rich, but anyone can donate blood. A rich man cannot donate more
blood than a poor man. Every healthy person can donate blood if he
