Blood given in exchange for breakfast
SANTA CLARA, Cuba, January 24 (Feliberto
Pérez, Cubanacán Press / www.cubanet.org)
- Edrey Fleites and Ortendo Rodríguez
decided to donate blood when they learned
donors were given breakfast as well as time
off from work.
"Real objective was to eat something
that day and get permission to miss two
days work without pay," Rodríguez
said.
"I just accompanied Ortendo, but one
of the technicians at the blood bank asked
me if I also wanted to donate and I replied
that for two pieces of bread and some ham
I'd fill a 500 milliliter flask," said
Fleites.
After eating breakfast, they asked when
they could return and donate more blood
in exchange for a meal. They were told in
two weeks.
