Volunteers of the Global Embassy of Peace for Activists (GEAP) in Spain, took part in the 5th International Blood Drive Marathon called "Life is in the Blood", where many countries have participated in making a difference by contributing towards a culture of peace and solidarity with fellow citizens.
