    Bone Marrow Drive for 24yr old Kayvon

    Bay Area - San Francisco Saturday - February 7, 2009     10:00 AM

    Hello friends,
    I would like to introduce you to our friend Kayvon who is a 24 year old Iranian-Mexican man.

    Kayvon was diagnosed with Aplastic Anemia a few months ago and his doctors need Kayvon to have a bone marrow transplant in order to cure him from this rare and dangerous illness. Kayvon does not have a match for the transplant and he and his family are looking for a donor to possibly match him and save his life. Best possible donors for Kayvon are those with Middle Eastern or Latino background. As always, all donors are needed for other patients as well.

    Please take a moment and strongly consider becoming a donor on the registry and do what it takes to immediately save a life. We encourage you to pass this information for the drive along to any persons who may be possible donors for Kayvon (Multiracial, Middle Eastern, Latino).

    If you have registered in the past 10 years, you do not need to register again. You can still help by spreading the word and encouraging others to become registered.
    For more information on becoming a donor or the donation process, please visit www.marrow.org or call (510) 908-2170. There are 2 drives taking place this weekend:

    « Je considère le monde tel que je l’aperçois mais mon petit monde n’a que la taille de ma connaissance, les informations me limitent à la petitesse de leurs étendues mais l’information est illimitée et donc l’on n’est jamais sur de ceux que l’on sait. Le monde des autres nous est méconnu, le monde des handicapés est abstrait, la seule façon de "savoir" est de s’ouvrir, voir, et écouter. Le silence, le !ralenti, l’impassibilité, n’entrent pas dans nos modes de fonctionnement. On veut toujours du mouvement, que quelque chose "arrive", et c’est parfois quand "rien" n’arrive que la vie commence… La collision entre l’expression physique des danseurs/comédiens et l’univers qui parait opposé de Paul Melki me donne l’opportunité de nouvelles expériences. Je veux lui offrir mon corps, exploité abusivement, sacrifier les turbulences pour le silence, lumières pour les Ténèbres. Ma rencontre avec Paul Melki m’a ouvert les yeux sur l’existence d’un monde intérieur bien plus puissant que notre réalité de personnes "valides". »
    Shahrokh Moshkin Ghalam
