Durbanville Lions Club proudly welcomed Danielle Cronje as their club president for a second term during a special induction ceremony held at Durbanville Rose Garden.
Cronje has been a dedicated member of the Lions for the past three years, but her journey with the club began long before her official induction as a member through her active involvement in service projects in Fisantekraal.
In addition to her work with the Lions, Cronje is a committed community volunteer, serving with the Durbanville Victim Empowerment Programme, co-founding and directing the Mosselbank River Conservation Team, and representing residents as a member of the Ward 105 committee in the environmental sector.
Projects
Durbanville Lions Club specifically focuses on hunger relief projects, vision care, disaster relief, environmental protection and any other humanitarian needs that might be identified in the community.
In the past year the club has served over 7 000 people through several projects. These include assisting with donations to flood and fire responses; supported soup kitchens and other hunger-related projects; safety home and safety mother’s support; dignity bag drives for crime victims; eye screening; the Walk in Heels for Gender Based Violence project for school children; Support to the Cupcakes of Hope project; volunteering at the Blisters for Bread Walk; knitting for the Bless a Baby project; the annual Peace Poster competition for youth, tree planting and environmental clean-ups.
The club is also proud of the launch of its website in May this year and various other marketing efforts to spread the word about the Lions Club’s impact in the local community, Cronje says.
One act of kindness
“I remember standing at the beginning of my journey 12 months ago, asking myself: Where do we even begin? How could I, how could we as a club truly make a difference in a world that sometimes feels broken? But then I realised we don’t have to fix the whole world. We just have to start planting seeds of hope in our community. One act of kindness, one meal served, one child given hope, one family shown care. Because that’s how transformation begins – not in grand gestures, but in faithful, consistent service,” Cronje says.
