"STREET CHILDREN"

Freeport Lions Club recently received an email from our twin club, Kathmandu-Gliese Lions Club in Kathmandu, Nepal, thanking us for publicizing their social efforts to improve the quality of life for students, homeless people, the sick, and those with vision and hearing problems. Again, we are proud to support our twin club as they launch a social video highlighting poverty and homelessness. 

We hope readers will follow the link to that video at the end of this blog, and will become so moved that they too will be involved in their community efforts to serve, to help, to volunteer, to donate.

Unfortunately, social injustice is a common thread weaving all human societies together. We see poverty and homelessness in many cities and rural areas throughout the United States of America. We are often reminded of it through our own experiences as well as though television commercials that ask for donations.

Our country began a "War on Poverty" campaign 50 years ago. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_Poverty. Some politicians these days would deemed this "war" a failure, but we Lions know better when we see our efforts, and those of other organizations, improving or restoring basic qualities of life, and actually bringing smiles, honor, respect and self-worth to many faces, not just in the USA, but around the world.
