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.
