Blast From the Past

Lion Harry Pereira, member of the FELC, shown here receiving a braille writer from the then South Brooklyn Lions Club in 1966. Lion Harry has served a two-time club presidency.

Lion Harry attended Syracuse University in 1975. He then worked as a Peer Counselor for 11 years in a small agency for blind and visually impaired in Syracuse. In 1994, Lion Harry went for a 9-month computer training program at the World Services for the Blind in Little Rock Arkansas. World Services for the Blind was founded by Roy Kumpe in 1947. With a $10,000 donation from the Little Rock Lions Club, Kumpe began building what would become the most comprehensive rehabilitation center for people who are blind or visually impaired.

This led to his employment at the IRS in Washington, D.C. as a computer specialist from 1995 to 2018.

Help4Kids Florence

This organization feeds food-insecure children in Florence County public schools. It is currently serving over 2500 children in the county. Help 4 Kids Florence is a program that supplies food packs to public schools in Florence County. In the county, 1 in 5 children go hungry or are “food insecure.” Each Friday children at risk of being hungry get sent home with a bag of food for the weekend, providing them food for Saturday and Sunday. Their goal is to fill the weekend hunger gap so these children return to school on Monday rested, fed, and ready to learn. The program is currently supporting over 2500 children.
