EP Youth organize social activities, blood donation exercise

Individuals, Churches and other social groups spent March 7 which was a public holiday organizing entertainment programmes and developmental activities.  

These include beach parties, clean up exercises, blood donations and family get-togethers. 

One of the groups was the Meridian Presbytery of the Christian Youth Builders of the EP Church which organised a blood donation exercise at the Emmanuel congregation of the church at Kakasunaka near Tema, where 150 units of blood were realized.  

The Vice Moderator of the Church, Rev. Roger Dzandu Hedidor implored the youth to desist from negative behaviours like alcoholism and drug abuse saying intake of these will impact negatively on their health in future.  

He congratulated the Christian Youth Builders on making blood donation a regular feature on their calendar.  

A Senior Blood Donor organiser of the National Blood Service, Stephen Danso explained the benefits in donating blood regularly.

The President of the Meridian Presbytery of the Christian Youth Builders, Isaac Ahiaxonu said blood cannot be manufactured, that is why it is important for healthy people to donate blood regularly to help save lives.  

He said blood donated can be recovered within 24 hours.
