Polio Sunday

Posted by Amy Wenk at 4:58 AM

One of Rotary's most impactful projects is the Polio Plus eradication program. Through the mass distribution of  oral vaccine, Rotary has rid most of the world from the crippling disease. However, India is one of  four countries still afflicted.

Today, we went to a hospital for women where our Team Leader Bill Barney gave a small girl the two-drop Polio vaccine. It's a truly noble cause, so it was great to see the process firsthand.

    What an experience you are all having. You are great representatives of Rotary District 6900 letting our fellow Rotarians in India know we care for them and we care for the children of India. Good picture Bill giving the 2 drops! Charlene and I want you to tell Kalyan Banerjee and Binota hello. We look forward to hearing from the GSE Team when you return.
