This year, taking the moment of the World Red Cross Day and bringing up the line ‘A Drop of Blood will Help Life’,
once again the hotel held the blood donation to help the IRC replenish its stocks. Encouraging the whole Royal
Seminyak Bali team to donate their blood, the hotel also invited sister hotels in Bali. The event took place in the
hotel premises, at the pre-function Puri Tanjung Sari Ballroom on Wednesday, 18th May 2011 from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Ferushita Dewi, Human Resources Manager of The Royal Beach Seminyak Bali, “We have seen many
catastrophes happened lately and it made us realize the value of a bag of blood. Every single drop can prolong
life and when it is needed, we would do anything to get it for those who are fighting for their life. Been working
hand on hand with the IRC and knowing the fact of the crucial value of blood, this regular blood donation is the
least that we can do to support the Red Cross in saving humankind. A drop of blood does help life.”
The next blood donation will be held on September in commemorate to the Indonesian Red Cross day on 17th
September.
