▪︎ More Details: The project aims to clean up the bed of the Maritsa river, which is situated within the urbanized territory of the town of Svilengrad, Republic of Bulgaria, as a part of the national campaign "Let's Clean Bulgaria Together". It was implemented in partnership with the Svilena Svilengrad Alpha Leo Club and the Svilengrad Rotary Club, and with the support of of Svilengrad Municipality. The Svilengrad municipality provided sacks and gloves for the volunteers in the campaign. Irresponsible dumping of waste in the area had turned the area into an unsightly place. Before the start of the cleaning activities, the river bed was turned into a bed of waste of all kinds - plastic, iron, papers, nylon. The municipal structure responsible for the waste in the town transported the collected waste to the landfill. The implementation of the project contributed to the protection of the environment by cleaning the area of waste. For this cleaning of this territory, such a computer operation was organized for the first time. With concern for the environment, people's well-being and preservation of the cultural and historical heritage of the region, socially responsible organizations with voluntary work made efforts and joined the millions of volunteers around the world for the World Environment Day. Over 600 kg of plastic products, construction materials, tires and other plant waste are collected in biodegradable bags and handed over for processing. What was unique, outstanding or innovative about this service project is that united under the title "Clean environment for us and our children", Svilena Lions Club and Svilengrad Rotary Club united the community in this important cause. Guided by the good example, families and children, 50 volunteers from Lions Club, Rotary Club and Svilena Svilengrad Alpha Leo Club are involved in cleaning the territory in the Maritsa River bed in the part passing through the city. The Maritsa River is the largest full-water river in southern Bulgaria, passing through the urban territory of Svilengrad. Pedestrian access to cross the river is via a built bridge, which is a cultural monument of national importance, built more than 500 years ago, with a length of 295 m and a width of 6 m. , which is annually visited by thousands of tourists. Along its course in the months of high water, the river carries with it various waste - logs, plastic waste, etc., which under the pressure of the water narrows the width of the bed and creates prerequisites for natural disasters and floods. This service project important to our community because this eco event - the cleaning of the mentioned territory, was organized for the first time in our community. With concern for the environment, people's well-being and preservation of the cultural and historical heritage of the region, socially responsible organizations with voluntary work made efforts and joined the millions of volunteers around the world for the World Environment Day.

▪︎ From: D325C, Dharan City, Nepal.

▪︎ Partnership: This project was led by Lions and we made necessary arrangement at the venue and convinced people to donate blood. All organizations worked together to convince people to donate blood.

▪︎ More Details: "Be the reason for someone’s heartbeat". We, Dharan Ghopa United Lions Club, organized "Mega Blood Donation Program" at Bhatbhateni Supermarket, Biratnagar, Nepal under our project "Dirghajiwi: Lives Life, Gives Life" together with Dharan Ghopa Health Professionals Lions Club, Biratnagar Health Ambassadors Club Branch, Health Ambassadors United Leo Club, Dharan Ghopa Leo Club, Biratnagar Kiwanis Club, Biratnagar Optimist Club, Dharan Ghopa Rotaract Club and Terapanth Yuvak Parishad (TYP), Biratnagar. It involved Lions, Leo, Kiwanis, Optimist, TYP and Rotaract clubs as a part of #celebratecommunity with a great assistance from Nepal Red Cross Society, Dharan. This donation drive was organized when Nepal was facing a national blood crisis – the worst blood shortage in over a decade, posing a concerning risk to patient care. Amid this crisis, Doctors were forced to make difficult decisions about who receives blood transfusions and who will need to wait until more products become available. Hospitals were still seeing accident victims, cancer patients, those with blood disorders like sickle cell disease, and individuals who were seriously ill who all needed blood transfusions to live. Blood and blood products were critically needed to help prevent further delays in vital medical treatments. The Red Cross experienced decline in the number of people donating blood since the beginning of the COVID - 19 pandemic and continue to confront relentless issues due to the pandemic, including ongoing blood drive cancellations and donor limitations. At this moment, our "Blood Donation Drive" made people realize the crisis and motivated them to donate blood for the needy. People felt that there is nothing greater you can give someone than the gift of life. It increased blood donations to ensure all needy patients can receive medical treatments immediately without any delay. Since then, the number of instant and camp donors have been multiplied to a great extent. Yes, to have people donating lifesaving blood is really incredible and essential. Together, Lions good goes further because we care, we serve and we accomplish!! What was unique, outstanding or innovative about this service project is that this humanitarian initiative connected all the global giant social service organizations - Lions/Leo, Rotary/Rotaract, Kiwanis, Optimists as well as Terapanth Yuvak Parishad, for the first time round the globe. It helped us gather instant blood in huge quantity as well as motivate people such that uexpectedly, people started going to Red Cross Office, giving our reference and expressing their willingness to donate blood. It helped to raise awareness improving the quality of lives of needy and saving a number of lives, hence bringing a positive impact in our community. We received hundreds of membership queries following the event. It also helped to spread a positive message among the public about how Leo and Lions clubs across the globe are actively working to decrease the global burden of problems and sufferings, thus elevating the Lions brand. This project proved to be an image building project for Lions Club International increasing our public visibility.. This service project important to our community because the gift of blood donation is a selfless act that gives hope to those in real need who are struggling with death. The donated blood has a great impact in the lives of need. The need for blood products is always great to meet the demand for patients with cancer and other diseases, surgical support and accident/trauma victims. The summer months and winter holiday season put additional stress on blood suppliers because of decreased donations. Also, in the past year, the shortage has widened as we’ve seen a decrease in the number of donors due to COVID pandemic. As a result, the Blood Centers and government have had to issue multiple critical appeals for blood but all in vain. Our purposeful, dedicated initiative of mega blood donation drive awakened the community people to realize their social and moral responsibilities as there is no substitute for human blood products and voluntary donation fosters a feeling of doing something generous for others; it’s the ultimate “pay it forward.” Yes, our community is depending upon us and it is important provide the right blood to the right patient at the right time for the right reason.

Brooklyn First Responders Lions Club

Brooklyn First Responders Leo Club

▪︎ From: D20-K1, New York City, USA.

▪︎ Partnership: Brooklyn First Responders Lions and Leo club members partnered with La Guardia Kiwanis Club as they hosted their annual Kids Day! This annual event was to educate and inspire youth in the aviation. Our Lions served in various capacities, for example, Lion Brian Worthington flew the NYPD Helicopter to LaGuardia airport and spend about 6 hours chatting with hundreds of attendees regarding his job as a pilot, NYPD officer and what it means to be a First Responder. Lion Brian is a Board member of First Responders Lions Club. He’s also a retired military officer and the President of Black Pilots of America. Additionally, 12 year old Leo Brandon Willabus, Vice President of First Responders Leo Club served for 6 hours as a volunteer who overlooked one of the US Air-force Auxiliary - Civil Air Patrol aircraft. Leo Brandon was called a HERO at the end of the day since a child who went inside of the plane pressed the engine light on. Leo Brandon observed and sprung into action and alerted the licensed pilot. Leo Brandon is a young aviator. He completed the ground course to become a pilot. He currently has experience flying in various aircraft like the Cessna and Piper. Leo Brandon enjoyed speaking with hundreds of parents and children regarding his experience as a young aviator and future pilot. Lion Brian and Leo Brandon served with merit and made us proud as they both continue to share their passion for aviation and community! The LaGuardia’s Kiwanis Club was the host of the LaGuardia Kids Day event.

▪︎ More Details: What was unique, outstanding or innovative about this service project is that there are not a lot of events or activities that promotes aviation to the youth. There are currently a lack of pilots especially Pilots of color since they don’t know the necessary information to start a career. Additionally, they don’t have access or resources to pursue their ambitions. By seeing Lion Brian Worthington and Leo Brandon who are great examples in aviation inspired a lot of children. Both Lion and Leo shared information on how the pathway to become a pilot to the hundreds of attendees. This service project important to our community because there are not a lot of positive role models for our youth. Leo Brandon Willabus, at the young age of 12 inspired so many. These are the traits of which not only parents look for but other children as they focus on future interests. Many communities lack opportunities for children to be inspired beyond the norm. There are the usual routine events like a block party, backpack giveaway, etc but not meaningful life changing events like this service project. Having the opportunity to walk into the cockpit and hold the yoke or press on the rudder pedals is not an everyday occurrence. Most of us upon traveling on a plane, we rush to board and while curious, never get a chance to meet a pilot or explore the brain of the plane!

▪︎ LCI: This service project elevate the Lions brand since during the project, many people found out about Lions, about the fact that it is the largest humanitarian organization in the world. They understood the priorities of the organization and showed a desire to get involved in other initiatives. We build trust with our actions. We reported the project in MyLion after it's finished.

The project required internal and external painting of two classrooms. We divided into teams to tackle the mission. As we worked it allowed us to chat, get to know each other, and share information about our organizations. There were so many similarities called by different names. Whereas our reporting protocols are International, The Optimist fall within the country and region. We arrived as strangers; we left as friends " Barbados North Lions Club in partnership with Barbados South Optimist. What unifies us is our Vision & Mission - our youth and positioning them for a great future, while enhancing our communities. Together We Are Stronger, Together We Can. What was unique, outstanding or innovative about this service project is the Readiness, Willingness and Cooperation when two Service Organizations could come together for the Common Good and a Common Goal. This service project important to our community because it involves children. Instead of returning to the drab classroom they left for the summer and some before COVID, they now return to the vibrant brightness of their classroom. Children are our future and everything should be done to keep them happy and cheerful.

▪︎ LCI: This service project elevate the Lions brand since there are some new staff at the school who are not from the community, they now know of the work of the LIONS. Elevation for the Lions Brand. We reported the project in MyLion after it's finished.
