Club Donates a Set of Computer to Camp Crame High School, this is a Joint project of San Diego Executive Lions Club and Quezon City Cubao Lions Club

The school began working with local Lions two years ago to implement Lions Quest, a kindergarten -7th grade positive youth development and prevention program that unites the home, school and community to cultivate capable and healthy young people of strong character. Lions Quest helps students grow into solid citizens as they learn how to make responsible decisions, communicate effectively and avoid drugs and violence.

Our club handed the Lions Quest books to High School students in Ponciano A. Bernardo High School

And another school, Juan Sumulong High School receives also the Lions Quest books

This activity is a bi monthly event of the Q C Cubao Lions capping a series of visits by the members during the year. Club President Claire Corpuz in cooperation with NK Chairman 3rd VP Ressie had organized the visits to Nayon ng Kabataan following a long standing tradition of the Club to create public awareness and help street children return to mainstream through a comprehensive rehabilitation program. Usual activities during the visits include movie showing, parlor games, and bonding sessions.

QCCLC supports in the children’s total rehabilitation process by its cash and non-cash donations. Likewise, through the initiative of some of its members, QCCLC also co-manages a residence and livelihood skills training center at NK.

Sometime February of this year, my classmate from Baguio City approached me and confided that there are several Persons With Disability (PWD’s) in Barangay Silangan, San Mateo, Rizal, wherein majority of them need help in terms of food and there are some in need of wheelchairs. I did not waste time in communicating with the President of this organization, we immediately sat down and talk of a possibility of helping these individuals. At first, i only offered a feeding project and at the same time, distribution of biscuits to these kids.

I brought this project to our club and with no hesitation, the board approved an amount that suffice for the feeding and distribution of biscuits. On March 25, 2012, Immediate Past President Lion Jojo Sta. Ana and i have the chance to look at how the life of these PWD’s. It really melted my heart as i saw these almost hopeless individuals lined up waiting for us. I figured different sickness or disability to these children, there were malnourished, autistic children, blind, deaf, mute and many more disabilities. While we are feeding these children, we imagine how hopeless they are but on the other hand, i also saw how joyful they were when they saw us. To their minds, as if they saw a saviour coming to rescue them in the midst of darkness. Unfortunately, we can only give so much as we are dependent on the funds that we have in our club.

While having their meryenda, a boy in a stroller struck my attetion. This boy is already 12 years old but he looked like about 5 years old. I found out the this boy cannot walk due to the tb of the bone sicknesss. While i was talking to this kid, i learned from his sister that this boy is really eager to go to school, Special Education for Children or what they call as SPED. The sister requested for a wheelchair if it is possible. Another is a young girl i saw in a picture that totally cannot stand up because of her situation, that this young girl’s life was already spent in the bed. Again, i included this in our agenda during the Board Meeting and asked for funds that will be used in buying wheelchairs for these two children. In our club, if it benefits people, they always have the heart to approved funds needed to help our brothers and sisters in need.

AS the fund was handed to me, I ask one of my salesmen to buy the wheelchairs last Saturday. Fortunately, we found good quality with reasonable price. This afternoon, Lion Ogie, Lion Claire and I went to Barangay Silangan and finally hand the 2 wheelchairs to the beneficiaries and they were really glad and so much joy brings out from their faces. The 12 year old kid said that finally he can go to school this coming school year, apart from the joy that he will finally go outside of their house to play. While the other one, even if he cannot talk, picture of gladness was written all over her face, as if saying”now i can enjoy my life”. To fellow Cubao Lions, especially Lions Ogie and Claire, thank you very much for joining me giving joy and hope to the two kids. To my fellow board, thank you for you generosity and willingness to approved and released funds for the needy. Indeed, Quezon City Cubao Lions are ever ready to extend help to the hopeless people in our society. MABUHAY QUEZON CITY CUBAO LIONS CLUB.

On behalf of my family, i would like to thank all members of Quezon City Cubao Lions Club for the support and efforts that they have rendered for this Lion Year. Joining in this service organization is a great opportunity to reach people that need help in the prevailing life struggle. It is an opportunity to extend help to these people who, in one way or another are clamoring for more assistance in life that any organization can provide. Our club, the Quezon City Cubao Lions club has a rich tradition in doing these service projects that help our less fortunate brothers and sisters. That is why, every Lion Year, we always have to think of an innovation and new ways of servicing the needy. We have to think of a fund raising that can fund our service projects to maximize our efforts in helping people. This year is no different, as, I aim to fulfill what the objectives of our club in service and in administrative activities. The first thing i did is to think of a fund raising that will give the club a huge leap in terms of funding our service projects. The fun run that we initiated is one of the innovations apart from the usual golf tournament our club usually did. Fortunately enough, we succeeded in this first organized fun run and we were able to collect funds that suffice the needs of our club and even share some to our foundations (the Street Children and Scholarship Foundations).

But innovation doesn’t stop as we wanted to extend more and more help to our community via all the projects that we are doing. Our club likewise wanted more awareness and promoting what Lionism is all about and what our club has been doing. With this, we created our website that everybody can have the chance to view and update what Quezon City Cubao Lions Club is all about. This was very effective that during the typhoon Ondoy in 2009, countless number of people and even organizations sent their donations to our club for the relief mission of QCCLC in various part on Metro Manila. There were also different Lions Club, like the Houston Millennium Lions Club, Lions Clubs in India, Japan and even a Club in Autralia gave their share just to be able to help.
Our Club doesn’t stop there as we wanted more. Last month, one of our club members ,Lion Abe Dumlao, a past president and incumbent President of Quezon City Cubao Lions Club Scholarship Foundation made another innovation that only Quezon City Cubao Lions Club can do. This we call the CLUB’S E-NEWS LETTER. But don’t be deceived, because not only our club members can view our E-News Letter but even Lions around the world for as long as they have email addresses. At this early, i would like to extend my congratulations to Lion Abe Dumlao and to all club members for innovating this e-news letter that makes awareness so easy to access and can easily understand what Lions are doing. Content of this e-news are very informative like our projects, meetings other service and administrative activities and even how to become a Lion.

Thank you once again to all the club members and especial mention to Lion Abe Dumlao, whose talent is a great contribution to our club…Mabuhay Quezon City Cubao Lions Club.
