[WMSCOG NEWS] A Blood Drive in Collaboration with the South African National Blood Service -The World Mission Society Church of God

Nothing is more important than life, however many people’s lives are now at risk due to the shortage of blood. so, Donating blood is absolutely necessary and a worthy cause to save lives directly. That’s the reason why the World Mission Society Church of God ( a founder Ahnsahnghong-nim ) continues the blood drive in every part of the world.

Church society teams up with SANBS to donate blood

Church society teams The World Mission Society Church of God (WMSCOG) in collaboration with the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) held a blood drive last Monday. According to Dumisani Munawa, the chairperson of WMS, the aim of this initiative is not just to create awareness about blood shortages in the country but also to appreciate the love and sacrifice that women go through while giving birth.

August is women’s month and they are taking this opportunity to help women who lose a lot of blood during childbirth. The church members of WMS, wearing green church shirts, gathered outside the SANBS tents to donate blood.

The members of the church had food packages to offer lunch to people who were joining them in the initiative because it is not safe to donate blood on an empty stomach. Wendy Manxayile, a first-year theology student said, “I cannot donate blood because I am underweight but I am here to spread the love of God through encouraging people who can to save lives.

Several people who were not church members donated blood as well, including third-year BCom Financial Management student Marco Pereira Jardim who said that this was his 11th time donating blood. “My blood type is AB+ which is rare so I am just doing my bit to help whenever I can,” Jardim told Perdeby.

According to sanbs.org.za, only 3% of people have the AB+ blood type. Tshepo Motang, a third-year financial management student who also donated blood, said that his reasons for contributing were to save lives and to get “freebies while helping out”.

The public relations practitioner of SANBS, Roshell Pillay, said it was a “lovely thing for WMS to approach them and help them spread the awareness, we as SANBS are really grateful.” One unit of blood can help three to six people. It is approximated that only 300 000 of the 55 million people in South Africa are donors and that the main donors are not youths. This is the reason why Munawa believes that it is important to raise awareness among the youth. Photos: Eddie Mafa

Many members of the Church of God often make effort to take time out of their busy lives and physically go and help out someone in need. That’s the great thing about volunteer work conducted by the world mission society Church of God. The love received from Heavenly Mother enables us to do so.
