PROJECTS & ACTIVITIES

1. Campaign

We carried out a thereby campaign from the 18^th-20^th August 2008 at the University of Botswana Student Centre. The aim of the activity was to recount new members to the club. The event was very successful, as we managed to recount a lot of new members.

The 2008/2009 office bearers were installed on 24^th August 2008, by Lion David Nkwe, the club’s advisor.

3. Bookstall Launch

We are carrying out a bookstall at the club office in UB. The stall was officially launched on the 26^th September 2008 at UB Student Centre. We also printed at some memorandums and leaflets to ask for donations in the form of book and novels that we will be selling at the bookstall.

The project was carried out on the 27^th September 2008 (during the region meeting) in Lobatse Secondary School. This was a twinning project between Leo Clubs of Gaborone West (UB) and Leo Club of Lobatse. We were also joined by other clubs who attended the Region meeting.

This semester’s blood donation campaign was a great success. The event ran from the 20-24^th October 2008, on both UB campuses (FET and the main campus). 217 donors graced the activity at the FET campus and 331 donor donated at the main campus. We were working in conjunction with the Nation Blood Transfussion Services who provided biscuits and drinks for donor and the Health & Wellness Centre in UB who provided t-shirts for donors.

8. Food Trolley

Initially we had put up a food trolley at two busy Supermarkets in Gaborone, Pick n Pay in Riverwalk at Kgale Super Spar in Game City, for people to donate food and toiletry items. This was not bearing fruit as people were not donating and were deciding to go to the stores to encourage people to donate on the 25^th and 26^th of October 2008. We collected over 200 items of food and toiletry and cash amounting to P2121.70.
