WHAT ARE LIONS CHILDREN OF COURAGE AWARDS?
These achievements awards were especially designed to recognise the courage and bravery of children with special needs.
Lions Children of Courage Awards are NOT a competition. Every recipient of an award is a “winner” in his or her own right as the recognition of these young people’s achievements will:
1. Act as an encouragement for their future
2. Help them to believe in themselves, and
3. Help increase their self-worth.
All children just want to be accepted by others regardless of any special needs they may have. These awards will portray them as children who have successfully overcome additional barriers which face them in this world.
NOMINATIONS
