International Leo Day 2017 'A Box A Love For A Child' Charity Event & Hunger Project 2017

The Leo Clubs of District 308 B2 Region 1 celebrated our annual International Leo Day on 3 December, this year is also the 60th Anniversary for Leo Club Program. Leo Club is a program adopted by Lions Club International since year 1957. We are group of youth from age 13-30 years, mainly organizing community service projects. We have decided on quite a meaningful main project in conjunction to Leo Day to mark 60 years of giving back to the community. 'A Box A Love For A Child' Charity Event was launched during the opening ceremony of Leo Day where Leo Clubs have collected 1500 boxes filled with toys, stationery, books, clothing and other items where each box is then given to a child in all the orphanages in Penang. Besides that, our club has decided to use this coincidental event to carry out our Hunger Project of 2017. We held a hunger crossword puzzle competition free for all to join. The purpose of this competition is to raise awareness about the topic of world hunger among us because we are all very fortunate to have never experienced real hunger in a country like Malaysia. The competition received a great response and many people managed to complete the puzzle. A huge thank you to all the members who helped out and to people who have supported this good cause.
