Scotiabank’s Robb Street branch yesterday played host to a flash mob organised by the Sonia Noel Foundation for Creative Arts in collaboration with the Guyana Sickle Cell Association (GSA) in an effort to raise awareness about the incurable sickle-cell disease.The performance, dubbed “Breaking the Cycle,” consisted of models who enacted a skit accompanied by a song, depicting the loss of oxygen the blood cells suffer because of the disease.
