Preparate con los Leones Barrio El Seco, Mayaguez
🦁 Lions Club of Mayagüez Nuevas Voces Creates Community Impact with Lions Clubs International Foundation and Partners through Emergency Preparedness Initiative
Mayagüez, Puerto Rico – In a joint effort to strengthen community preparedness for emergencies, our Lions Club of Mayagüez Nuevas Voces organized an educational and social impact activity focused on the Disaster Relief Global Cause, one of the eight global causes promoted by the Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF). 🌍💪
This initiative was made possible with the support of LCIF, Elevance Health, Carelon Foundation, and MMM, organizations that joined forces to distribute emergency kits 🧰 and provide essential information on how to respond to natural disasters such as earthquakes and hurricanes 🌪️🌊.
During the event, we encouraged community participation in the “Great Puerto Rico ShakeOut”, an island-wide earthquake preparedness drill aimed at strengthening public awareness, education, and emergency response skills. 📚🤝
As part of this service initiative, our members also carried out a coastal cleanup at Boca Morena Beach 🏖️, located in the El Seco neighborhood of Mayagüez, reaffirming our commitment to environmental protection and sustainability 🌿. By combining disaster preparedness with environmental stewardship, we seek to build safer, more resilient, and cleaner communities.
We extend our sincere appreciation to Alberto Trabal, Director of the Puerto Rico State Emergency Management Office, and the Municipal Emergency Management Office of Mayagüez, for their participation and collaboration. 🙌 We also thank the Salvation Army, the Educators’ Cooperative, the House of Representatives of Puerto Rico – District 19, and Representative Lily Rosas, as well as the Municipality of Mayagüez, whose support was essential for the success of this initiative.
The Lions Clubs International Foundation (LCIF) serves as the humanitarian arm of Lions Clubs International, empowering Lions around the world to serve their communities in times of need. 💛 Through its grants, LCIF provides financial and logistical support during natural disasters, offering shelter, food, water, essential supplies, and educational resources to enhance local resilience.
As Lions, we serve before, during, and after emergencies, promoting solidarity, hope, and preparedness. 💪🦁
With this initiative, the Lions Club of Mayagüez Nuevas Voces proudly reaffirms its commitment to LCIF and our club’s motto: “Leaving Pawprints”, because every action, every project, and every act of service leaves a lasting mark on the lives of others.
