Humanitarian Relief
CA4 – Europa
“The impact of every humanitarian service with a story behind it lasts forever. And this is the story of District 118R Lions and Leos…”
Located in eastern Türkiye, all year round snow-capped and fog-covered, Mount A?r? (Ararat) is the highest mountain in the country at an altitude of 5137m. Described in the world-famous Venetian explorer Marco Polo’s travels as “never climbable”, Mount A?r? is known as the roof of the country. The subject of legends and mythological tales through long ages; this lofty mountain now hosts LCIF on the 60th anniversary of the Turkish Lions.
In the awareness and publicity film produced by the LCIF District 118R Coordinator’s team WondeRland led by the District 118R in Türkiye (Aegean and West Mediterranean Lions), our Foundation made a journey to the summit of the highest mountain of Türkiye.
LCIF enables us to think big and undertake projects that can truly change the world. We are always going forward and higher in our global services and disaster relief efforts with our Foundation. And that’s where our story begins right here. The funding provided to our district between 1995 and 2023 by Lions Clubs International Foundation, has approached half a million US dollars. That’s why this production is the 28-year story of the LCIF impact of the District 118R on communities and brings you on an 8-minute journey filled with kindness.
Change is possible, only if you are involved in it too. Experienced climbers, one of whom was a true Lion Friend, took on a four-day challenge against harsh natural conditions to scale the summit. With a special story behind its design, the LCIF target flag was planted on the summit in the small hours of the 4th of August, Friday morning.
Representing the Turkish Lions, our mountaineers overcame all obstacles without giving up. They took bold actions against the clock, became empower with the support of our Foundation, and never succumbed to any difficulties. No matter how challenging the conditions are, we are moving forward with our services to reach our goal together with our Foundation.
We always feel powerful the presence of LCIF in our wide-ranging actions from natural disasters to global projects. Like a manifestation of our efforts, with the LCIF flag that waves on the most legendary summit of Türkiye, we will become even stronger.
Taking action together with a hope, a smile, and solidarity of friendship can change the world! Smiling is the motivation of Lions and Leos. Everything is possible with a team that acts amicably with the spirit of unity as a leading in hope and has an important mission and vision. The change of wholehearted service into absolute beauty will be the most peaceful and happiest summit we can reach.
With a good champion’s manner, now LCIF is at the top!
Our heartfelt thanks to LCIF for being with us on this challenging and kindness-filled journey…
LCIF is our Foundation!
Finally, we say in unison: I LOVE LCIF
