Photo: Lynn BerggrenOn Wednesday Grahamstown residents and students gathered in Eden Grove to give lifeby giving blood. A nerve-wracking experience for some, there were many pained facesand gritted teeth. Despite the apprehension, around 200 people allowed their arms to bepierced for a good cause. According to Msimelelo Lose, a donor educator at thetesting center, the blood is collected into one bag and then divided into the differentcomponents: red cells, platelets and plasma. It is then sent to Durban for safety testingand distributed to areas in need. Lynn Berggren and Peta Danielshow us what happenedOUCH!
