Investing in the National Blood Bank. Find out how? #GiveBlood

I am ageing and have always wanted to donate blood but have never been able to do so. Fear runs down my spine every time I think about losing some blood. But I have noticed that, just like in investment, the more you put in, the more you gain, so is blood donation. Giving Blood in Ghana is investment in the National Blood Bank. And since the Blood Bank is government owned, the risk of default like other government securities (e.g. Treasury bills and bonds) is very low.
