When Jocelyne Josiah retired from UNESCO and returned to Guyana after a career spanning some 30 years, she wanted to become involved in making a difference at the grassroots level. It did not take her long to choose the D’Urban Park Lions Club which she describes as being “hands-on” in making a difference in the lives of people, especially children.
When she joined the club nine years ago, she met persons like Mena Carto who has some 30 years of service as a Lioness under her belt. And for Carto, it all started when she graduated from university and wanted to be involved in community service.
So if one is to turn a critical eye to the club, which is celebrating some 25 years of existence, one would find women like Carto and Josiah pooling their resources to make a difference in the lives of others.
