Blood BrothersThe ninth Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Blood Drive took place on September 6, and this year, former Trinidad and Tobago cricket captain, Daren Ganga was asked to be patron. As he addressed its opening, Ganga praised donors saying that they were “able to look past themselves, giving an actual part of their physical being for the benefit of another person, who they may or may not even know.” The Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Blood Drive was started in Trinidad and Tobago in 2009 by Nari Contractor, to whom Sir Frank had donated blood after his head injury in 1962. It is held twice annually at the UWI St. Augustine Campus. In photo, Daren Ganga poses with Campus Principal, Professor Clement Sankat. Photo: Aneel Karim. |
