Li Foundation and Lions Club Singapore were honoured to welcome a visiting delegation from the Beijing Lions Club of the China Council of Lions Clubs (District 385) to Singapore. The delegation was led by District Governor Li Hengyuan, along with Second Vice District Governor Chang Weichen and Past District Governors Liu Haiyan and Ye Ke.
On 8 March, the delegation began their day with a morning visit to the Lions Home for the Elders, where they were received by District Governor Chia Lai Soon and Immediate Past District Governor Shirley Lee. The visit provided a first-hand look at Singapore’s longstanding commitment to eldercare and community service. Witnessing how sustained, community-based efforts support ageing populations with dignity and care, Lions from both sides engaged in thoughtful discussions on service delivery, leadership development, and the evolving needs of their respective communities.
The day continued with a sharing session hosted by PDG Lionel Li, who introduced the background and work of Li Foundation and reflected on his personal journey in philanthropy. The session offered the visiting delegation further insight into the experiences, values, and sense of purpose that continue to inform the Foundation’s approach to service and social impact.
In the evening, PDG Lionel Li, together with LCS Bifrost, hosted a welcome dinner for the delegation. Singapore Lions leaders in attendance included First Vice District Governor Lawrence Sew, Past Council Chairperson Dr. Winston Koh, Honorary Committee Chairperson and Past District Governor Bobby Eng, Past District Governor Jeffrey Yang, GLT District Coordinator Steven Tan, District Convention Chairperson Henry Liang, Charter President of Lions Club Bifrost Singapore Dr. Ada Zhang, First Vice President Xiong Anhua and Second Vice President Chen Ke.
Beyond the formal programme, the exchange underscored the importance of people-to-people connections in advancing philanthropy. It highlighted how shared values—service, leadership, and community impact— unite Lions across borders, and how partnerships such as this one continue to inspire greater collaboration and meaningful impact in the communities we serve.
The book showcases how the participants challenged their limits and conquered the World Marathon Challenge and North Pole Marathon to inspire people to challenge their own limits and pursue their dreams boldly.
