The Accra-Labone Leo Club recently celebrated its 33rd charter anniversary, marking the occasion with a charitable donation to children with cancer at the Rebecca Akufo-Addo Sunshine House of the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital. On September 19, the Club engaged in recreational activities with the children and presented assorted items to bring joy and comfort to their lives. This gesture reflects the humanitarian values of the Lions movement.
The donated items included colouring books, crayons, colouring pencils, puzzle books, storybooks, pencil cases, erasers, pencils, sharpeners, and bicycles. These items aim to keep the children engaged and active during their treatment. The Club's members also spent quality time with the children, participating in recreational activities as part of the celebration. This thoughtful gesture demonstrates the Club's commitment to putting smiles on the faces of people, especially those facing difficult circumstances.
According to Ms Suzan Nana Akua Asante, President of the Accra-Labone Leo Club, the organisation intends to build long-term partnerships with other Leo Clubs, organisations, and foundations.

In addition to the donation, Ms Asante appealed to non-governmental organisations, foundations, government agencies, and other organisations to support initiatives aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable people.
