Several members of Saint Lucia’s deaf and hearing-impaired community took part in a blood donation drive with the St. Lucia Blood Bank on January 24. The drive was hosted at the Lady Gordon Opportunity Centre in Ciceron, formerly the School for the Deaf and alma mater of most of the participants. This first of its kind initiative was jointly coordinated by the Deaf Ministries Department of the Castries SDA Church and the Society of the Deaf Club.
