Amazing Story

Buwaneka Mahawatta

Buwaneka 100th v2
In 2002, I made my initial blood donation. After relocating to New Zealand, I began donating plasma in 2019. Since then, I've maintained a biweekly donation routine. Donating plasma has become as integral to my biweekly schedule as playing badminton. I firmly believe that as humans, it's our responsibility to donate blood or organs. Without willing donors, those in need would struggle to access the necessary resources for their well-being.
