17 January, 2025 Hunger Relief Project

On 17/1/2025, the Hunger Relief Project for the new fiscal year 2025 was carried out. Residents in need from Padang Tembak gathered at Dewan MPKK Padang Tembak, anticipating light aerobic exercises before receiving meal boxes and bread.

 

On January 15, 2025, Alpha Leo Hui Yuen commenced the Club's monthly initiative for Needy Families by purchasing and delivering groceries to the family of Mdm Gan. This project was overseen by OC Needy Family, PP Lily, who also serves as a Leo Advisor. The Leos were engaged in a practical and hands-on experience. LCGTM believes that these Leos gained insight into the lives of those in need.

Mdm Lee Overcomes Adversity: No Longer Needs a Wheelchair.

Mdm Lee, a widow, is on the verge of no longer needing her wheelchair. She previously experienced significant knee stiffness and endured considerable pain whenever she attempted to move her legs. Her late husband was a fisherman, and her son has been instrumental in assisting her with daily tasks. They reside in a government-owned semi-permanent cluster house in Balik Pulau. The Lions from George Town Mutiara became aware of her situation and provided support that has transformed her life. She had both her knees replaced. The operation was done at Pantai Hospital Penang by Orthopedic Specialist Dr. Boon.  

Mdm Lee was happy when President Derry Tan assured her to take things slowly and that she would experience a swift recovery. 

LC GTM's monthly ongoing project to support Needy Families continues.

On 17/12/2024, Needy Family Project OC PP Lily Teoh gave monthly grocery supplies to Munusamy whose wife passed away recently.

Another TKR project - Making Mdm Wong's dream come true.

LC George Town Mutiara has gained recognition for helping numerous individuals facing medical challenges. Recently, the club received a request for medical aid from Mdm Wong, who was unable to walk. Upon investigation, we found that she was experiencing financial hardships. Mdm Wong is single and unemployed.   

The Pantai Hospital Penang had verified that she had knee issue and required both knee replacements. Should she regain her ability to walk, she aspires to become a hawker to cover her daily living expenses. LCGTM has made her wish come true. 
 

A donation box has been placed at Pantai Hospital Penang to collect funds for medical assistance, with the incentive of receiving a soft toy in return for contributions. Numerous generous donors have participated in our Medical Fund offering preloved soft toys. 

We are pleased to see that this project underscores the remarkable strength of community spirit and demonstrates that many individuals still selflessly contribute to support a worthy cause. Lions Club of GTM is grateful and say a
big 'Thank you' to them.
