Ability
The ability is to create and foster a spirit of understanding among all people for humanitarian needs by providing voluntary services through community involvement and international cooperation.
Description
This is about the effort contributed by men and women (frequently their families too) for voluntarily serving their local community, providing a fellowship second to none - an important aspect of Club life. Lions are often asked by members of the public what a Lion is. The best way of describing a Lion is probably to look at their Objects and Ethics (mentioned in ability above) which really sums up what being a member of Lions is really about .

To Take an active interest in the civic, cultural, social and moral welfare of the community. To Unite the clubs in the bonds of friendship, good fellowship and mutual understanding. To Provide a forum for open discussion of all matters of public interest; provided, however, that partisan politics and sectarian religion shall not be debated
Potential
The potential of this is to be able to give with the spirit of giving with a bond of fellowship from club to club, not only at home but internationally as well.
