Parktown High School for Girls hosted another successful blood drive together with the South African National Blood Service (Sanbs) recently.
Grade 12 learner Christine Kunda said awareness of the drive was spread by word of mouth and with the aid of technology.
Grade 12 learner Phillisa Mwila said, “A large crowd of bubbly young ladies queued ready to donate their blood and this helped to create a lively hub that chased away any fear of sharp needles.”
Learners were excited to take part. Grade 12 learner Ashleigh Mewse shared that her father was a pharmacist who always encouraged his family and friends to donate blood.
Matric learner Thenjiwe Manakaza said she wanted to know what her blood looked like in a bag.
Christine said, “Through the selflessness of the ladies who donated their blood, Sanbs was able to reach their collection goal.
“The kindness demonstrated by our Parktonians has saved many lives and we are excited for the next blood drive in term 3.”
