MONROVIA: The Lion’s Governor responsible for four West African Countries, Daniel Sampah, has recommitted the International Lion Club’s readiness to help improve its services for less fortunate people across Liberia.
Mr. Sampah who is visiting Liberia said, his mission is to work with other Lions in Liberia to find the best solutions to existing problems, and at the same time, make impact in different service activities for those in need.
“Also, I am in Liberia to know how we can increase the membership base of our clubs; and to raise funds or collect money to improve other activities,” Sampah disclosed.
The Lion’s Governor provides oversight responsibility for Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Togo and Liberia with the total of 2,588 members.
Of this number, the International Lions Club has about 752 districts around the world.
The Lions club, in addition to helping in the improvement of health and other well-being of the less fortunate, strengthen communities and support those in need through humanitarian services and grants that impact lives globally.
Lion Sampah stressed that it is always a pleasure to be in Liberia.
He expressed happiness for the work the Lion Club is doing for the people of Liberia.
He pointed to the service center at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Hospital and major undertakings by Lions and Leos in Liberia.
“Assurances are pouring in from stakeholders to support the work and activities of Lions across the country,” he added.
While in Liberia, Mr. Sampah joined the local Lions and Leo clubs for outreach activities.
He also had the opportunity to meet the Vice President of Liberia, Jeremiah Kpan Koung, and top Liberian officials.
“Our friends from Liberia know how to do their work well,” said the governor.
According to him, the managers of the Lions club in Liberia have proven to have full understanding of what they want to do for ordinary less fortunate people.
“They capture needs of the people and then they come and ask our international foundation for grant to help them roll out all the projects they want to do,” he said. “They know how to do it and they will do it,” he stressed.
