LIONS WORLDWIDE WEEK OF SERVICE FOR YOUTH

Lions International dedicated the Week August 8 – 14 as Worldwide Week of Service dedicated to mentoring, empowering and engaging youth through community service. This international event is designed to inspire the next generation of volunteers and help us reach our Centennial Service Challenge goal of serving 100+ million people.

The Castries Lions used this opportunity to mentor our Leos and engaged them in a service activity.   On Sunday August 14 the Castries Leos and their prospective Leos joined with their parent club and treated the patients at the Mental Wellness Institution.  This institution was chosen because it is one that is usually forgotten by the general public.  The treat was sponsored by the Lions and the Leos spent time serving and engaging the patients.  It was a very rewarding activity and it is hoped that this engendered  in our Leos the spirit of giving in back to those less fortunate.

Thanks to the management and staff of the Wellness Center for allowing us the opportunity to undertake this activity.  

 Thanks to the Lions who prepared the snacks and to the Leos for giving us the opportunity to mentor them.  ROAR LIONS AND LEOS.
