The event had dozens ofHFNZ members and volunteers donating their blood. Hamilton Mayor Paula Southgate came to the camp at the invitation of Gurpal Singh Sidhu. She talked with donors and praised the organisers for their efforts.
HFNZ's Karanjeet, one of the organisers of the camp, said: "It was great to see many people coming forward to donate their blood. As a community organisation, HFNZ endeavours to make a contribution to the community by organising such blood donation camps.
"We plan to have more such events to help the community. It was great to see the mayor appreciating our initiative for community service."
