We Tell It Africa

My Dear Friend, JEPHTHAH OHIOMOKHARE SICKLE CELL FOUNDATION MARKS WORLD SICKLE CELL DAY World Sickle Cell Day is a United Nation’s recognised day to raise awareness of sickle cell at national and international levels, it falls on June 19. The Jephthah Ohiomokhare Sickle Cell Foundation is pleased to bring to your notice our decision to commemorate the day with an essay writing competition in Jephthah's former school. We have chosen The NAOWA College for what you might call obvious reasons. Our Jephthah would have been 18 years old this June, and we thought his post humors birthday and world Sickle Cell day should be marked amongst those he spent most of his time with and had learnt to love. Our aim is to make sure Jeph's friends and children every where are aware and properly educated about the importance of knowing their genotype before choosing a life partner. This is why we have chosen an essay writing competition in the school as our way of creating awareness.
