Organ donation means giving parts of your body, like a kidney or liver, to help sick people live after you don't need them anymore.
A hospital in Vijayawada, called Aayush Hospitals, organised a big walk to teach people about it.
The walk happened on World Organ Donation Day, a special day to talk about how donating organs can save lives.
A local leader named Gadde Rammohan Rao started the walk.
He said organ donation is a kind act that gives people a second chance at life.
