To mark Organ Donation Day, August 13, 2017 Sreelakshmi V, a grade 10 student of Our Own English High School, Sharjah, conducted online Poster Designing & Slogan writing competitions for school students in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The theme was Organ Donation – “Life Never Ends…” and was conducted in association with MOHAN Foundation from August 13 to September 15, 2017.

HOPE (Have Only Positive Expectations) started by Sreelakshmi and her like-minded friends began its journey in April 2016 with the aim of addressing socio-cultural-eco related activities in society and getting the student community involved in such activities apart from academics. Team HOPE felt it was high time awareness was created among the general public and student community about the noble cause of organ donation. The event received a good response from the students. The competition was announced in three categories and winners were decided by an eminent panel of judges. The announcement of the results and certificates distribution event was held on 6th October 2017 at ASAP Tutor, Sharjah with the support of MOHAN Foundation volunteers Mrs. Vasundhara Raghavan, Mr. Giridhar Iyengar, and Mrs. Sindhuja Ram (former MOHAN Foundation transplant coordinator). Also present were two inspiring teachers – Mrs. Tajunnisa from Sharjah Indian School and Mrs. Anjum Hassan, Delhi Private School, Sharjah.
