Warm greetings, from the Presidents of the NJ Renaissance Lions and Leo Clubs! We think it’s safe to say that these times are not the easiest, both physically as well as mentally. With the outbreak of COVID-19, we’ve seen families and friends go through multiple challenges while trying to maintain their previously “normal” lives. Whether it be due to boredom, stress, academic struggles, or home issues, the mental health of those we love are being tested, and we wanted to do something to ease their worries. Keeping this in mind, we, as well as my fellow leaders at the NJ Renaissance Lions and Leo Clubs, have put together this initiative with a prime focus on mental health of students around the globe. Thank you all, and we hope you enjoy being involved in and contributing towards this effort, as much as we do!
