AVG is there to provide technical support & is often  more accessible to students than is the IT department. We are often tasked to help on student productions that require high tech support integration, or simple everyday assemblies that can be student run and need not bother the IT department.

Blood Donation Drive: Blood types are genetic. Different populations around the world have differing percentages of each of the different blood types. In the UK & northern Europe, the blood types are more or less evenly distributed in the population. However in countries like Thailand, Rh- negative (a blood type) is extremely rare to come by. Because of this, people in Thailand with Rh negative blood are often put into live threatening situations because the Thai blood banks don't have a sufficient supply of Rh negative blood. I started this annual project in order to raise awareness, especially among foreign populations, as they often carry higher levels of Rh negative blood. I hope that in the future, Thai blood banks will have enough Rh negative donors donating regularly to combat the shortage.
