another great idea, pat, thanks for the comment:)
lis, Is it legal now in S.A. to get paid for donating blood. I know in years past I was very involved with the clinics, it was not allowed, due to numerous, understandable reasons.
After a long absense from the country, even before apartheid ended, I returned. Many a thing has changed. As I myself is too lightweight to donate, I have not been to the clinics since I'm back.
Thus I do not have knowledge if the law was changed concerning this matter.
Hi equalla
In S.A donating blood is out the goodness out of your heart! So this hub is more for america and england. I know when I was in the u.k that could be done
Thanx for the answer. I was not too sure about the situation now as I was out of the country for such a long time. Never knew people actually got paid overseas for donating.

Pat's daughter used to work as a musician in a club one or two nights a week as a student. It was almost practice time, and she got paid.
