Every now and then I do my bit and post what would probably be called a public service announcement. So today I'm serving my public. This is the time of year when a lot of South African's are starting to go away on their annual summer holidays which means that a lot of regular blood donars tend to skip a donation because they aren't home or is too busy to donate. This leads to a situation where the South African National Blood Service runs very low on stock at a time when blood could potentially be in big demand due to the influx of visitors and the possibility of more accidents happening. I donated blood for the 47th time last week (three more for my half century) and noticed the SANBS' summer blood campaign poster. "Give someone a bloody good festive season" You gotta love the word play in that one.
Wow Firefly, is your camera a part of your body as are your arms and legs. You have it everywhere. Haha. Its about time I donated again.
ReplyDeleteI'll be doing the same here today on Kauai, the other side of the world, when donors miss appointments because of the holiday season. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteWell done! Just looking at your photo makes me squeamish! Something I just cannot do :(
ReplyDeleteInteresting view in this pic. I too donate here in Leeds and have rather less sessions, 25 at last donation, though some more than that since I gave in the military too. After which they gave me a pen and a badge. I usually have my camera with me and have been looking out for a donor subject, rather than using my own arm.
