International President's Programme - Lions Clubs International District 324E1

More Volunteers Doing More Community Work in More Places than Any Service Club Organization

Community projects

When it comes to meeting challenges, our response is simple: We serve. In 207 countries, in hospitals and senior centers, in regions battered by natural disaster, in schools and eyeglass recycling centers, Lions are doing community volunteer work, helping, leading, planning and supporting. Because we're local, we can serve the unique needs of the communities we live in. And because we're global, we can address challenges that go beyond borders.

Campaign Sight First II

We want everyone to see a better tomorrow. That's why we support sight programs and services including vision screenings, eye banks and eyeglass recycling. Provide eye care services to those at risk of losing their sight. And raise donations through campaigns like SightFirst and Campaign SightFirst II.

Youth Programs

We empower the next generation. Whether it's providing youth volunteer opportunities and leadership experiences in a Leo club or sharing a message of peace through our Peace Poster contest, our youth programs invest in the future by reaching out to young people

Community disaster preparedness

We serve local communities – and protect the planet. From performing hands-on community work and service projects to providing emergency assistance, our community and environment programs improve our communities – and protect the environment.

Diabetes awareness

We believe everyone deserves a healthy life. From providing health programs that focus on hearing loss to supporting efforts to control and prevent diabetes, Lions volunteers are working to improve the health of children and adults around the world.

Adopting Tiger

“Adopting a Tiger” is the dream project being undertaken by Lions District 318A
with the blessings of the Government of Kerala. Adoration of “Mother Earth” and
an ardent desire to play our District’s role in the global “Save Earth” movement
are the motivational factors that have inspired me to embark on this project.
The richness of the variety in the natural habitat of plants and animals,
and enrichment of bio-diversity of our planet are essential for the contented
existence and safety of humanity. But unfortunately, the course of events world
over does not paint a rosy picture. Dwindling of forests and insane aspects of
urbanization and modernization has prompted environmentalists and social organizations
to ring alarm bell. As of now, Tiger and Lions has been placed in the endangered category.
According to “The International Union of Conservation of Forests” 132 species of plants
and animals are on critically endangered list in India. India is home to the largest population
of Tigers in the world. According to” Tiger Census”, wild tiger population in India declined
by 60% from 1990 to 2008. It does not augur well if this ominous trend continues. Decrease
in tiger population is attributed mainly to poaching and forest destruction. Though a major
statistically concerted effort known as “Project Tiger” has been underway since 1973, it
is yet to take a big leap. But, certainly it is time to think about the use of science and
nanotechnology to ensure eco-friendly life.
Environment care and awareness programs regarding protection of flora and fauna
has been assigned due importance by Lions Clubs International apart from its conventional
humanitarian activities. The fact that it is largest service organization in the world
spreading over 207 countries and geographical areas with 1.35 million members, speaks volumes
for its reach and strike rate. To contribute our share, District 318A, as its first venture
of this sort has envisaged the project “Adoption of a Tiger”. Notably it has symbolic significance
and is reflective of our patriotic feelings, as Tiger is our National Animal.
I believe, the adoption of Tiger, Rahul, from Trivandrum Zoo, will create a great
impact on our people to love animals and stand for the cause of animal rights and conservation.
And I strongly believe this will lead to many innovative and creative thoughts.
We place on record our sincere gratitude and deep appreciation for the support
extended by the Government of Kerala and, especially, the Museum and Zoo authorities of
Thiruvananthapuram.
‘Nature never did betray
The heart that loved her’ (Wordsworth)
