When students take classes in organ donation

When a biology lesson on organ systems generated immense interest among Class VIII students of The Pupil International School, the biology teacher Mathura saw an opportunity for an extended class, one about organ donation helmed by subject matter experts from Mohan Foundation. The session eventually led to the formation of Organ Donation Awareness Club led by 25 Class VIII students.

In February, the Club conducted an awareness campaign at the school with a skit and a song, thoughtfully executed by the students to engage their peers. A short film Second Beat with students, parents and teachers as actors sends out a powerful message on grief, hope and courage inherent in the process of organ donation.
