Monday - Health -Awareness on World Hemophilia Day on the 7th April 2015!!

Today we spoke to someone from the South African Hemophilia Foundation regarding the World Hemophilia Day thats on the 17th April 2015. We needed to find out more about the the disorder and the day in which its celebrated.
Theme for 2015: Building a family of support.
World Haemophilia Day is commemorated on 17 April, giving haemophilia organisations around the world an opportunity to increase awareness of haemophilia.

World Haemophilia Day was started in 1989. The World Federation of Haemophilia (WHF) chose 17 April in honour of WFH founder Frank Schnabel, who was born on that day.
The day in 2015 will be used to raise awareness about bleeding disorders and the need to build a family of support for those living with them.
Families come in many forms but they all share the ability to support and advocate. World Hemophilia Day provides an opportunity to talk to your extended family and friends, colleagues, and caregivers to raise awareness and increase support for those living with an inherited bleeding disorder.

You can also go one step further and have a local landmark, a light in your home or office, or your front porch light lit in red on April 17 to show your commitment to the bleeding disorder community.
This year connect the global bleeding disorder family on the World Federation of Hemophilia social media network and encourage your online community to join the global family.

For more information about the awareness please call 021 758 7140

She took us on a camp and we stayed in contact after that ,and we done various charity work together. Just her will, and her strength that I see in her - she wants to make such a big change, but don’t have the necessary tools, so it will take years to fund her dream, and I came up with the crazy idea to give it a year and do my part to raise those funds and build that house,’’ said van Dieman.
