In recent years, young people have often felt confused about future development and the way forward, and have been unable to fully realize their potential. Such a social environment often makes teenagers become negative, even have emotional problems, and feel hopeless about the future.  Lions Club of Central hopes that through various activities, it will not only bring new knowledge to young people, but also provide them with an opportunity to display their talents, balance their lives, and better adapt to different environments and face challenges. In addition, adolescents need to connect with others and gain approval from others. Therefore, in the “Flying Youth” series of activities, we provide opportunities to interact with others, learn to connect and develop their own strengths.

Lions Club of Central visited Hong Kong Neuro-Muscular Disease Association Limited in Sept 2021.  We chatted with the Chairman to learn about their need and distributed tea bags to their members.

Lion Club of Central co-organize with Wong Tai Sin Youth Development Network made our DIY aroma stones together and distributed them with goody bags to elderlies at Kowloon City Baptist Community Centre.

The COVID-19 pandemic is raging imposing threats on personal health, employment, and social interaction which in turn lead to the deterioration in overall mental health. In view of this, The Lions Club of Central develops its 30th Anniversary Theme Service Project with the hope to achieve a healthy body and mind through the five sensory functions of the human body: vision, smell, hearing, taste, and touch. We hope to minimize the impact of the epidemic.

We cooperated with Lions Clubs International District 303, Hepatitis Prevention & Education Committee and The Neighbourhood Advice-Action Touch-Support Service Centre to provide free Fatty Liver Disease and Liver Fibro-Scan to 105 nos of Ethnic Minorities. All attendants were received a lucky bag as souvenir.  This project was fully supported by Chong Lap (HK) Co., Ltd.

Donation $60,000 to The Education University of Hong Kong Early Childhood Learning Center Fundraising event.

Irritable bowel syndrome is a common condition that affects the digestive system with prevalence ranging from 10%-14% in adult population. The actual cause of irritable bowel syndrome is not well understood by the general public. Many IBS patients may not be willing to follow with their doctors continuously. Lions Club of Central therefore would like the production to focus on the background, possible causes of the disease, diagnosis, and treatment. To broaden the scope of our educational programs, we also include the views and treatment from Chinese medicine.  By understanding of IBS, it is hoped that patients are more willing to communicate and consult with their doctors to find out the most suitable ways to fight against IBS.

Kick-off Ceremony’ was successfully held on Mar 20, 2021. Several hundred participants from 13 Community Service Centers  joined the event online. Dr. Kevin Chan Wai Chung, Gastroenterology & Hepatology and Prof Bian Zhaoxiang, Associate Vice-President (Chinese Medicine Development) of Hong Kong Baptist University answered questions from the participants.

The Chinese New Year is a joyous time because it brings families together, but the epidemic has not stopped. The Lions Club of Central has never stopped caring for the elderly.

However, as the situation of the epidemic continues to fluctuate, many elderly centres were forced to close. A lot of elderlies were left alone and without support, making them feel more isolated than ever before.  Therefore, during this Chinese New Year, we especially organized a Lunar New Year Lucky Bag distribution event to the elderly living alone or the two elderly living together in various districts around Hong Kong including who live far away from town to show care and spread love to elderlies in need. 

In Mid February, our members gathered together to prepare 650 sets of lucky bags which contained epidemic prevention soup, white rice, hand sanitizers, masks, cakes and supermarket cash coupons.  Afterwards, we visited various YWCA elderly centers to pay New Year’s greetings and handed out lucky bags and lucky money to the elderlies.

Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic remains severe and volatile, the economic downturn that occurred over the past year has rendered quite a number of people homeless, and the number of street sleepers has been on the rise.  We have found that the number of street sleepers in Tsim Sha Tsui district has increased by 100 per cent recently, especially after mandatory suspension on dine-in services. Some are ladies and first-time street sleepers due to job losses during the outbreak.  As the Lunar New Year is approaching, Lions Club of Central desire that the activity could bring our warmth and love to the homeless people. We’ve visited the street sleepers in Tsim Sha Tsui, Yaumatei and Kwun Tong and have distributed sleeping bags, clothes, quilt, essential hygiene kits, epidemic prevention materials, biscuits.
