Dear All,
THANK YOU
I write on behalf of all the countless number of Nigerians whose lives
have been saved by safe blood transfusion and on behalf of 'faceless'
but highly esteemed voluntary blood donors whose priceless gift of
blood has redeemed many lives, to say 'Thank you' to MTN for being the
very first corporate body to acknoledge the existence of and to
commemorate/celebrate the World Blood Donorsl Day. This act lends
great credence to the fact that MTN is a socially responsive
organization.
Though MTN has no direct business relations with blood and blood
donation, they have done this in cognizance of the untold number lives
that have been saved, are being saved and will be saved by safe blood.
We thank them for this kind gesture and urge other corporate bodies
and institutions to awaken to their responsibility.
Availability of safe blood ties directly with the attainment of MDGs
4, 5, and 6. We can achieve these goals only if we team up. As it is
said Together Everybody Achieves More.
Yours,
Lala Oluwatobi K
