  		Blood Transfusion Service, Bujumburu, Burundi, 1976. Translation of caption accompanying picture reads, "In the long corridor of the mission station they sit next to one another: the blood donors and the recipients. In one room, with the doors open, blood is being donated while in the adjoining sickroom, likewise open, blood is being transfused. This obvious juxtaposition is a decisive factor in motivating the donors."
