Mwanza, Tanzania: A "pleasant surprise" greeted District Governor Lion Wilson N. Ndesanjo when he wound-up his club visitations programme at the Lake-side town of Mwanza, the second largest commercial town in Tanzania.
The pleasant surprise came in the form of a "gift" from Lions Club of Mwanza, "twelve new members and three Melvin Jones Fellow". The Governor quipped by openly showing his satisfaction at the best gift at the end of his club visitations tour and warmly congratulated the club for following the Governor's Goals.
Twelve new members mean that the district is going closer to the desired target of 1,250 members which has to be achieved by end of April. The achievement would turn out to be even a "bigger pleasant surprise" to all the Lions in Sub District 411B in the forthcoming Multiple Annual District Convention in Kisumu, Kenya.
Three new Melvin Jones Fellow means that the Sub District has now 317 MJF with 15 Progressive Melvin Jones Fellow.
More Information: According to the available statistics of Melvin Jones Fellow in Tanzania, Lions Club of Dar es Salaam City ranks number one with 73 MJF, followed by L.C. Dar es Salaam Host with 49 MJF and number three position is taken by L.C. of Mwanza with 32 MJF. In Uganda, number one is L.C. Kampala Central 21 MJF and number two is L.C. Kampala Host 16 MJF.
A Quality Project: Governor Wilson Ndesanjo witnessed yet another Quality Project, the renovation and extension of Maganzo Primary School which cost the Mwanza club a big amount of TShs. 26,500,000/ (close to US$ 16500:00) so far. The school was badly affected with heavy rains and strong wind which resulted into a collective effort of the Lions and District Misungi for renovation works.
The progressive assistance included building of two new class rooms, 120 students desks. The school seems to be on the progressive chart in academic achievements...in 2007 there were 17% passes and in 2013 50% passes.
At the school, Lions club of Mwanza Valentine donated school stationary items for 600 pupils. Elsewhere the all-ladies club donated a wheel chair to a person who had suffered heart stroke. They also donated a sewing machine, books and biscuit boxes to Pamoja Youth Centre.
