CONGRATULATIONS!
The Lions in Uganda were warmly congratulated for chartering two new clubs and also for inducting eleven new members separately. The glorious words of 'hongera' (Kiswahili word for congrats) was voiced by PDG/PMCC Lion Abdul Majid Khan when he was assessing the current status of District 411B.
The two new clubs in Uganda are Lions Club of Gulu Metropolitan and Lions Club of Mpondwe-Lhubira.
The Past Governor also congratulated the club leaders of Lions Club of Kilimanjaro New Century and Lions Club of Busia Greater which were revived and are now out of danger zone of Status Quo. The two other clubs which are in the danger zone facing Status Quo are Lions Club of New Century and Lions Club of Busia Greater.

Time and again, Lion Khan has been seriously reminding club leaders to work hard in bringing in new quality members.

CAMPAIGN AGAINST MISUSE OF DRUGS
Dodoma: The District Commissioner of Mpwapwa in Tanzania, Mr. Christopher Kangoye was highly concerned about the misuse of harmful drugs among the youths. It was announced that the use of narcotics had been increasing due to un-employment and lack of proper and effective guidance.
The Government leader urged leaders and the public to assist in curbing the increasing negative habits among the youths.
A few weeks later after the announcement of this sensitive issue, the Lions Quest Programme was conducted in Dodoma, the political capital of Tanzania. Under the guidance of Lions Quest Co-ordinator, PDG/PMCC, Lion Abdul Majid Khan accompanied by Dr. Hussain Hassan and two Tutors, held a two-day seminar for 31 Primary School Teachers.

Various chapters on skills for adolescence were taught to the teachers who will in turn impart the knowledge to other teachers and students in schools and community centres.
A similar programme was conducted end of June in Morogoro, approximately 130kms from Dar es Salaam. The same team was involved in teaching the teachers.
To-date in Tanzania, more than 300 teachers from Government and private institutions were taught the curriculum of Lions Quest and they will roll out this programme to over 112,000 children in schools. This programme is currently active in 60 countries and the programme materials have been translated into 24 different languages.
Lion Abdul Majid Khan and his team are now focusing in conducting a similar seminar in other up-country stations.Lions Clubs International is funding the basic expenses.
All Lions Clubs are being urged to conduct the Lions Quest programme as a project by involving schools of their choice with assistance from the lions Quest Committee.
In this Lionistic Year, Governor Lion Willy Ndesanjo formed a three-man committee of Lions Quest & Skills for Adolescence. They are Mohamed Mulla (District Convenor); Dans Naturinda (Uganda) and Kiran Mody (Tanzania).
