The Miss Ghana Foundation team
The Miss Ghana Foundation (MGF), in partnership with National Blood Service Ghana, on Sunday held its quarterly voluntary blood donation exercise at the St. Barnabas Anglican Church, Osu in Accra.
This was to help augment blood supply at the National Blood Service, for which 50 units of blood were mobilised at Sunday’s event.
MGF is the charity arm of the oldest beauty pageant in Ghana. It takes up social projects to support national development.
The donation exercise is one of the projects by the foundation’s brand ambassadors to give back society. It is held every quarter of the year to increase blood stock at the National Blood Service.
The exercise saw MGF brand ambassadors like Miss Ghana 2019 Rebecca Kwabi and her runner-up Deborah Opoku Sarfo, along aside Mr. Ghana 2019 Bright Ofori participate in the blood donation exercise.
Congregants of St. Barnabas Anglican Church came in their numbers to voluntarily donate blood.
Miss Ghana 2019 and her runners-up appealed to individuals, corporate Ghana and institutions to support blood donation programmes.
The Project Coordinator at MGF, Isaac Kojo Yamoah Quainoo, stressed the need to make voluntary donation of blood an everyday culture, adding that the MGF would continue the advocacy programme on regular and voluntary blood donation.
All donors were educated before the donation exercise took place. They were also refreshed right after process, and went away with lovely packages.
The blood drive was proudly supported by the National Blood Service, Ghana, Bel Aqua, Bel Beverages, Atinka Media Village, Nancy Foods and Cee Bless Prints.
