“We can’t help everyone but everyone can help someone”-Ronald Reagan
This is the basic idea that everyone who joined and formed this club had.
The Leo club in New Horizon was established, to serve the community. It
comprises like-minded students, of different backgrounds, eager to make a
difference and engage in efforts to make the community better. Our goals are to
empower the underprivileged through simple acts of kindness and to make the
earth a better place to live in. We are passionate about serving society.
Doing good for society can come in many forms. We help society not only
through charity but also through service. We at the club believe that different
people have different needs. We have identified a number of outlets which require
service (such as cleaning the surroundings, planting trees, etc) and some other
outlets which require charity.
We as students have the power to change the future and make it a better place to
live in. We also have the energy and the drive to conduct and participate in acts of
service.
We have planned events such as blood donation camps, organ donation
awareness campaigns, etc. We will conduct these events at college in the months
to come.
We have already conducted a few events within and outside the college premises.
We’re proud to say that these events have been a grand success.
