Ruimveldt Leo club donates school supplies

The Leo club of Ruimveldt recently served the community by donating school supplies for seven children in the Ruimveldt area.

The presentation was done at the Ruimveldt Lions den, completing the Leo club service project to benefit  the community by providing the  beneficiaries with the basic tools for a proper education,  the club said in a press release. According to Juanita Harris, President of the Leo club, “This and other projects will allow Leos to meet pressing needs in our community. This project is also in keeping with Lions International Global Service Action Campaign for August which is engaging the youth.”
