She said the activity is in keeping with a pledge to save lives, there is also a theme for every fourth quarter drive. This month’s was chosen because February is a month for entertainment that will target the youths of Guyana.
Some popular entertainers, among them Jumo Primo, Adrian Dutchin, Big Red, DJ Casual and Nigel Worrel (The Fox), were also present at the Wednesday occasion, to give support to the voluntary blood donors.
Persons can voluntarily donate if their weight is 110 pounds or more, 16 years old (with parental consent) or older, in good health and committed to living a healthy lifestyle.
