As many of you know by now, the Freeport, Illinois, Lions Club and Kathmandu-Gliese Lions Club, Nepal, became "twins" recently, sharing cultural gifts and interests as well as their common interest in the world-wide services overseen by Lions International. Almost everyone knows that Lions help people with low vision and hearing problems including blindness and deafness. But community services such as diabetes screening, clean drinking water for villages to promote good health, and computer donations to promote literacy are just a couple of other examples of the expansion of Lionism, caring for the quality of life of our fellow humans. Whether its a roof that needs finishing, a floor that needs upgrading, or a wall or a bench in need of a fresh coat of paint, Lions are there to help.
Following is a recent letter with accompanying photographs received from Lion Sunit Shrestha, Kathmandu-Gliese Lions Club, to Lion Richard Montgomery, 1st Vice President, Freeport IL Lions Club, in an ongoing exchange regarding their clubs' activities:
********************************
Dear
Lion Richard,
I
would like to heartily present our club activities with you and your club. We built
a roof at temple and continued construction of remaining parts of the floor and
paint on wall. Then, we had financially contributed to community school for
making extra class rooms. That day we had distributed food, cloth and
stationary materials for the underprivileged students at school. These are the
kind of services we finished together with Lions Club of Butterworth (Host) Malaysia
and VISTAGE ASIA (Business Group) Malaysia. 
The Lions
members and non-lions members’ (Business Group) team were coming to Nepal and
visited with our club in the field. We were showing to our project fields and
made formal presentations with school and committee of the temple. We also
exchanged some token of love and gave Appreciation Letter to Lions Club of
Butterworth (Host) Malaysia for making those wonderful happenings in our
community with VISTAGE ASIA.
Both of
these teams were led by respected Lion Khay Chai Hong PMCC of Multiple District
308 who accepted our invitation, and our Multiple District 325 was represented
by respected Lion Ram Bhandari Chettri PMJF, PMCC. So, those programs were very
historical events for the Nepal to co-operate with Lions club and non-lions
from outside for the community services in Nepal. It was our great achievement
to gather International Lions Club and Business Group for social purpose together.
Hence, we had not any boundary to do social services in National and
International community at LIONISM. It was our small example to show
possibilities to participated Non Lions in the services. So, we believe and we
can serve together anywhere and everywhere.
By
the way, here I have attached some photographs of the “Lions International
Children Project” and “International Joint Venture Programs” which had done
from our Lions Club of Kathmandu Gliese.
It was our great pleasure to present our club report to you. We will run
some other programs in future and we continuously distribute computers at
community schools too. I am sure, you
should share this information with your club members and present to your board
meeting. I hope I will receive feedback from your side about it soon. Thank you
so much.
Best
Regards,
Lion
