At Belize City Sub Umbra Floreo Lions Club, we believe that education is a fundamental right, and every child deserves access to the tools that make learning possible. By providing essential school supplies, we empower our young students to pursue their education with confidence and pride, knowing they are equipped to succeed.

On October 18, The Belize City Sub Umbra Floreo Lions Club hosted a heartwarming Back-to-School Drive at Muslim Community Primary School, in collaboration with Ms. Martha Sacasa (Principal), our youth committee along with Lion members.

A huge thank you to our generous sponsors— RF&G Insurance Company Limited, Belize Port Authority, Simon Quan & Co. Ltd., Welworth Store, Denise Fast Food, and Mrs. Karima Williams, Councillor Sherwin Garcia, and Ms. Dominique Noralez, Director of the Leadership Unit from the Intervention Unit —as well as our Lions members and Prospective members who donated both time and resources. Your dedication and countless service hours spent packing and distributing the bags made this initiative a success!

🧘 Take a Break: Whether it’s a short walk, some quiet time, or reading a book, make space in your day to relax and recharge.

💡 Practice Gratitude: Reflect on the good in your life. Even small moments of gratitude can lift your spirits.

🔄 Stay Connected: Social connections are vital for our well-being. Reach out and check on a fellow Lion or someone in your community who might need it.
