Rotarian contributions, matched by the Gates foundation gifts (Billions of $) have funded WHO and other efforts that have been successful in reducing hundreds of thousands of cases of Polio each year to just a few hundred this year. With continued effort Polio can soon be eradicated from the face of the earth-forever. You can join in speeding up this mission of mercy by contacting a Rotarian who can tell you how to help.



Look for Rotary Club of the Villages website in club listings on this forum

This is such a wonderful cause and the effort has been underway since I was a Rotarian in the 80's I believe.

Unfortunately there are many ill-and-uninformed parents who refuse polio and other vaccinations. Their children will pay the price.
