MOVING ON

Being part of BNBTS was now interesting as i got used to the enviroment and was by then comfortable with everyone.Schools in Botswana are the major sources of blood.So far the safest blood is taken from the schools and at BNBTS pledge 25 club was established to mobilize students in blood donation by peer promoters.The goal of the club is to educate,motivate,recruit and retain young blood donors and to promote positive,safe life style behaviour to achieve a cohort of regular, safe, non- remunerated blood donors and a decrease in the number of HIV among young people.To keep the clubs active i worked on organising workshops to give the members updates on recent issues dealing with blood donation.

Since schools are the major blood donors a schedule for all secondary schools for the first quater of the year was made.A list of schools according to their district area and a date to visit them for bleeding sessions as well as the motivational talks.During this time we worked on delivering the schedules in schools and having discussions with the heads of departments especially the guidance and conselling department.We also delivered our posters which pledge 25 members helped with putting them up as well as distributing the flyers.

I keep saying we because at BNBTS is all about team work.In everything i did i was never alone.

Employees are the important assets of the company. Team spirit determines the development of the organization and the employees contribution should be acknowledged. They are the key decision makers of all the activities that affect the organization. The management is given support to motivate employees to perform their duties accordingly.BNBTS ensures that all employees are well informed prior to any activity being carried out so that they can have the chance to bring forward their views and suggestions. The organization wants to strengthen its employee relations by allowing open exchange of information, timely and consistent messaging across sources.
