You are old enough to learn to drive a car, to buy Mark Six, and to watch a film of category three when you turned eighteen. But what can you do at the age of sixteen? Well, you are old enough to donate blood. By the way, you have to be heavy enough. Girls who weigh less than 90 pounds are not allowed to participate.

Donating blood is not as simple as you may think it is. There are strict procedures that you have to go through. You have to pass every one of them before you can actually donate blood.

Blood donation also requires a lot of courage. Some may be afraid of having a needle poked into your arm, or some may be scared by the sight of blood. However, this small gesture can help the people in need. Hong Kong needs approximately 700 blood donors each day. Your participation will be very meaningful. So don't hesitate to join the Blood Donation activity next year.
