Serve Your Greater Purpose

January 19, 2010

A little girl once said “How wonderful it is that nobody need wait a single moment before starting to improve the world”. That little girl went on to change the entire concept of belief and faith in the world as we know it. A simple diary that maintained a record of how she and her family hauled through the worst of the Nazi Rule, Anne Frank is an ideal example of reaching out to people – even after death. With her diary she has given hope to millions of people around the world – taught them how to laugh in the worst scenarios, made them realize how trivial the material world is – and how important it is to think of the people around us.

As she laid the foundation for hope for many people to realize the potential of life, we are trying to deliver the message of the need for skin donation. Skin donation is not the same as donating blood or plasma. Its giving someone hope to live even after your own death. Cadaver donors have the opportunity to pledge their Skin for treatment of those who are desperately trying to survive major burns. In India, we need more than a few thousand donors annually, and we barely receive a hundred donors. Spreading the word for the need to donate skin is the only way one can rest assured.

Skin Donation is a simple process where after a person’s death a specialist will remove a layer of their skin – which will provide as a human bandage for a traumatically burnt person. The area where the skin is removed will be bandaged well before the cadaver is returned to the family. This skin is the best possible form of a dressing as it is human tissue helping the damaged skin to regenerate itself.

Thus, even after life ends, one can serve a greater purpose, help us – save life.
