The Miss Ghana Foundation, in conjunction with the National Blood Service, Ghana, has organised a voluntary blood donation exercise at St. John’s Grammar Senior High School, Achimota, during which about 140 units of blood were mobilised to augment blood supply at the National Blood Service.
The exercise saw more than hundreds of students participating in the blood donation exercise. Prior to the commencement of the exercise, The National Blood Service ambassadors – led by the reigning Queen, Miriam Xorlasi Tordzeagbo alongside her two runners-up Rocklyn Krampah and Irene Vanessa Vifah as well as the co- Beauty With a Purpose winner Florence Maamle Narh – educated the students on the essence of donating blood.
Miss Ghana 2022 and her runners-up appealed to individuals, corporate Ghana and institutions to support blood donation programmes.
Mark Kofie, a representative of the National Blood Service, Ghana, was full of praise for the Miss Ghana Foundation for always supporting the National Blood Bank in carrying out its services. He encouraged the foundation to keep up the good work. Some students who donated blood emphasised the need to continually donate blood as this could help curb the high death rate due to lack of blood at the various blood banks.
The foundation said the event formed part of their social intervention project to organise voluntary blood donation exercise at least once every quarter in a year to increase blood stock at the service. The event was supported by Exclusive Events Ghana, Gold Presence, Poised Etiquette Consultancy, Bel Beverages, Cece Bee Ventures, Aimar Noir Bakery, Top Choco, Maamle’s Kitchen, Mr. Elvis Agah & Family, e.TV Ghana and Katanka TV.
