Thank you to The Weekend Sun from Papamoa Lions especially for your support, guidance and work with the article in the newspaper for the Lions Ukraine Appeal.

As a result of the public appeal and the market on May 8 our lions club has been able to donate a further $1000 to Lions Clubs International Appeal for Ukraine Humanitarian needs. Moreover, 100 per cent of that $1000 will go to Ukraine through LCI. While I cannot tell you exactly what it will be spent on I can tell you is that medical supplies and food packages have been high on the support lists. There is also refugees being assisted with transport, places to stay and basic needs to set up a living space – all being funded by the Lions Clubs International Ukraine Humanitarian Fund.
