Serving with compassion and making an impact beyond borders! As part of one of Lions’ Global Causes - Hunger The NorCal Helping Hands Lions Club carried out a meaningful service project in Sri Lanka during this Lion year. Sri Lanka has faced many challenges following the devastating Cyclone Ditwah, and our club’s goal is to support where it is needed most. Our dedicated club member, Samantha Gajaweera, successfully coordinated three remarkable service projects during her visit to Sri Lanka! Project 1: A visit to a home for 32 mentally and physically challenged seniors in the Kelaniya area. After assessing the needs, with support from our sponsors and club members, we expanded the effort into a Hunger & Disaster Relief Project, donating healthy lunch packs, bedsheets, pillows, mattresses, clothes, fans, and other essential items.
