21 locals supported the Sunday blood donor clinic hosted by the Sai Organisation and the South African National Blood Service (SANBS).
Although the organisers hoped for a better turnout, they were nevertheless appreciative of the donors who took time out to save a life.
“It might be the cold or that some donors have the flu that there was a low number of donors,” said Sai Organisation member Baboo Ramdeen.
The friendly SANBS staff eased donors into the registration, iron and blood pressure testing, and donation phases with frequent questions about the donor’s well-being and comfort.
