STORIES
Giving Blood
A little girl was ill in hospital with a rare blood disorder and was badly in need of a blood donor but a match could not be found. As a last resort, her six year old brother was checked as a match and much to everyone’s relief, he was.
Both his mother and Doctor sat the little boy down and explained how they would like his blood to help his sister so she would not die.
The little boy waited a few moments then asked if he could think about it.
It wasn't the reaction the mother or Doctor expected but they agreed......
The following day the little boy sat in front of the Doctor with his mother and said he agreed to give his sister what she needed.
The hospital staff moved quickly for his sister was fading quite fast.
So the little boy could understand what was happening, he was placed in a bed next to his sister and so the transfusion began. Quickly, the colour and life began flooding back into the little girl and every one was over joyed.
The little boy turned to the Doctor and quietly asked, "How long will it be before I die?"
You see, the little boy thought that by giving his blood, he was giving his own life, which is why he took a little time to think about it..........

Generation Y
Generation Y refers to those born from the mid-1970s to early 2000s, otherwise referred to as the Millennial Generation, Generation Next or Generation Net. (Read more at wikipedia).
Generation Y is increasingly influenced by neo-liberal and market oriented approaches to politics and economics making them culturally more tolerant and more competitive with a perceived sense of entitlement. They have been viewed as the ultimate rejection of the counterculture of the 1960s with greater civic mindedness and a generational consensus building approach to conflict. Another major characteristic of Generation Y is greater use of multimedia, communications and digital technologies.
