The initiative is scheduled for December 9th - Press Release The Rio de Janeiro Youth Secretariat (JUVRio) will hold a solidarity and voluntary blood donation drive at the Casa da Juventude Centro, in the Gamboa neighborhood, with the goal of replenishing the blood banks of the Arthur de Siqueira Cavalcanti State Hematology Institute (Hemorio). The initiative is part of a partnership between JUVRio, the Guanabara bus company, and the Flamengo Museum, and is scheduled for December 9th, from 10 am to 15 pm. The Casa da Juventude Centro is located at Rua Camerino, 28.
The institutions joined forces because they share the same purpose and have loyal and engaged audiences, aiming for high participation from the population of Rio de Janeiro. On the day of the blood drive, the Flamengo Museum will bring a player from the team to participate in the event. Blood donation is a voluntary, altruistic, and transformative act, in which no compensation is offered in return.
– The Youth Center is a space for citizenship, and promoting an action like this reinforces JUVRio's commitment to causes that save lives. We believe that youth have a fundamental role in building a more supportive city with a sense of community – highlighted the Secretary of Youth of Rio, Gabriella Rodrigues.
