Shatayu- A Gift of Life, India

We all want to be remembered - remembered for who we are, what we've accomplished and the difference we've made. One way to make a difference is by donating organs.Organ donation is a wonderful legacy we can leave behind. Donating our organs after we are gone is the closest we can come to giving life to another individual. It is possible for a single donor to donate organs and tissues that may help as many as 50 recipients. The field of organ transplantation is one of the miracles of modern medicine, but its power to save lives depends directly on the availability of organs. Ironically, the increasing success rate of organ transplant procedures is one reason that organ transplant waiting lists have risen so dramatically. However raising awareness about organ donation about organ donation is a slow process, and the need for more organs is immediate. Possibly, if our nation was more aware of this growing issue, there would not be so many concerns regarding this topic. We at Shatayu want to make a difference and enlighten the Indian Society about the new afterlife with organ donation!
