    Very nice movement and noble cause initiated by the Mangalore District Lions and the allied Clubs, and kudos, specially to all those Lions Officials who are responsible for organising this unique Health Check-up Camp, and of couse, the team of Doctors and Nurses headed by Ln Dr. Jayaram Shetty. Lions Club, you have done it again, as usual!

    A big thanks to you on behalf of all those people who were treated and benefitted! We need more and more philanthropic organisations like you, to venture into these sort of social services, specially in the field of health and medicine. A special mention to Ronald Colaco of Bangalore for his generosity to sponsor spectacles to the needy patients, and of course, you, the Lions Club, for providing the medicines and the surgeries.
