THE DANSVILLE LIONS CLUB HAS MADE THEIR FIRST FINANCIAL COMMITMENT OF $5000 TO THE DANSVILLE PUBLIC LIBRARY TOWARD THEIR PLEDGE OF $25,000. THIS MONEY WILL BE USED TO ENHANCE TWO SUMMER YOUTH PROGRAMS ALLOWING THE PROGRAMS TO EXPAND AND ACCOMMODATE MORE PARTICIPATION.

IN HAITI - LIONS ESTABLISHED THREE TENT CITIES TO PROVIDE SHELTER TO 2,500 PEOPLE. NOW LIONS ARE HELPING REBUILD VITAL INFRASTRUCTURE.LCIF IS COLLABORATING WITH FOOD FOR THE POOR TO CONSTRUCT 400 PERMANENT HOMES AND A COMMUNITY CENTER THAT WILL PROVIDE VOCATIONAL TRAINING. LCIF IS PROVIDING US $1.5 MILLION AND FOOD FOR THE POOR WILL CONTRIBUTE US $1.28 MILLION.

800 HAITIAN FAMILIES ARE MOVING INTO NEW, TEMPORARY HOMES THANKS TO AN INITIATIVE BETWEEN LCIF, THE LIONS OF MD111 GERMANY AND HELP, AN INTERNATIONAL NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION. THE FAMILIES MOVING INTO THE HOMES ARE THOSE WHO WERE INITIALLY SHELTERED IN LIONS TENT CITIES. LCIF PROVIDED US $1.4 MILLION FOR THIS PROJECT. TRANSITIONAL HOMES WILL BE ERECTED DIRECTLY ON A FAMILY’S PLOT OF LAND, THUS AVOIDING THE HARDSHIP OF FURTHER DISPLACEMENT.

FOUR CLASSROOMS AND A LABORATORY ARE A PART OF THE NEW NATIONAL NURSING SCHOOL OF PORT AU PRINCE, WHERE 350 STUDENTS WILL STUDY ANNUALLY. EVEN BEFORE THE EARTHQUAKE, THERE WAS A SHORTAGE OF TRAINED HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, ESPECIALLY NURSES. LCIF PROVIDED US $368,421, OR 27 PERCENT OF THE TOTAL PROJECT COST FOR CONSTRUCTION AND EQUIPMENT EXPENSES.

LIONS ARE RECONSTRUCTING THE NOTRE DAME SCHOOL IN PORT-AU-PRINCE, FOUNDED IN 1976, THROUGH AN INTERNATIONAL ASSISTANCE GRANT THROUGH THE FRENCH LIONS OF DISTRICT 103-SVV. THE SCHOOL SERVES STUDENTS FROM DISADVANTAGED FAMILIES AND IS SUPPORTED BY THE NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION SOS ENFANTS SANS FRONTIERS(CHILDREN WITHOUT BORDERS). THE SCHOOL WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED IN THE EARTHQUAKE.

AS YOU CAN SEE, WE ARE LOCALLY AND INTERNATIONALLY ACTIVE IN ALL OUR COMMUNITIES. IN THIS COLUMN I LIKE TO KEEP THE READERS INFORMED ABOUT WHAT WE DO THAT YOU CAN SEE AROUND YOU, AND ALSO WHAT YOU CAN’T SEE AROUND THE WORLD. LIONS ARE EVERYWHERE.
