Donating blood pays off

National Blood Transfusion Services of Zimbabwe World Blood donation commemorations held at the school.

Nagle House donated 216 units of blood out of the 600 units that were donated by schools in Mashonaland East between June 2012 and March 2013.
This is the second time that the school has won this prestigious provincial award.

NetOne has been supporting the National Blood Transfusion Services of Zimbabwe blood donation programme though its prepaid brand, EasyCall, since 2006.
All the Form One students at the school also received EasyCall lines with US$5 airtime.

NetOne’s public relations manager Mr Rutendo Chabururuka said that the prizes were in the form of communication devices as part of their commitment to e-learning in schools.
“Our total sponsorship package was above US$40 000 in terms of what we invested in terms of these awards,” he said
