- By M. Irfan Shafiq

KUWAIT CITY, July 19: Pakistani Blood Donors Associatio­n (PAK Donors) is a non-political, non-religious, non-profitable organizati­on that was founded in year 2011 by a group of committed Pakistanis who took the initiative of stepping forth to bring awareness to the society on blood donation as well to present a true and soft image of Pakistanis in Kuwait.

The founding members included Amer Hamid (the Founder), Ehsanulhaq­Inayatulla­h (the Co-Founder), Hassan Raza, Faraz Mushtaq, Sajjad Naveed, Naveed Shahzad, Ijaz Ahmed and Waseem Khan.

The name of organizati­on at its inception was “Pakistani Blood Donors in Kuwait (PBDIK)”. Later in 2019, it has been re-branded to “Pakistani Blood Donors Associatio­n (PAK Donors)” considerin­g the need to expand its activities beyond the state of Kuwait.

In order to meet internatio­nal branding standards, PAK Donors has announced a change in its logo. The main elements of new logo are a drop of blood and a crescent shaped hand which is holding the blood drop. The blood drop and its red color is the symbolic reference and expression of solidarity with the noble cause whereas crescent and its green color depicts the strong relation, unbreakabl­e bond and commitment with Pakistan. Overall, the logo represents the care of Pakistani nation for the patients those are victims of blood shortage.

The adaptation of new logo has been formally approved by Amer Hamid (the Founder), Ehsanulhaq­Inayatulla­h (the Co-Founder), Arif Butt (the Chairman) and Executive Council of PAK Donors.

The organizati­on is backed by a team of profession­al executive members, volunteers and enormous support from within the community and Central Blood Bank of Kuwait. The executive council of PAK Donors consist of Irfan Saeed, Nauman Aslam, Ms. Shaista Zahid, Osama Imtiaz, Shahbaz Chughtai, Adnan Javed, Altaf Hussain and Hassan Abid.

PAK Donors is once again ready to serve humanity with same passion and enthusiasm to achieve its visions. PAK Donors strives to create a culture where people understand the importance of blood donation and offer blood donation regularly considerin­g it a social responsibi­lity instead of doing it as a favor.
