 We recently honored Raj Phairembam, the 11-year-old boy
from Moirang, Manipur, India, who created this year's grand prize
Peace Poster, at Lions Day with the United Nations. After
International President Sid Scruggs presented Raj with his award, Raj
surprised attendees by making a donation. "I want to share the
pain I feel for Japan due to the tsunami ... I want to donate $250
through the Lions Clubs International President." Visit our blog for a behind-the-scenes
look at Raj's day at the UN.
