Dr. Albert Sabin's discovery of the Oral Polio Vaccine is a boon to children all over the world. Let us thank him everyday and everytime as we and our children walk with ease.

So near yet so far. But we cannot give up war against polio at this moment. Too much work has gone into it already.

Rotary is doing a true service by eradicating polio. Total eradication would only be possible with involvement of all. Rotarians alone may not be able to do it.

Without the farsightedness of Rotary International in 1985 and the determination of Rotarians since then the devastating disease of polio could not have been controlled to the level it has been. Lets be optimistic about the program and continue to work sincerely until the spread of the wild virus is actually curtailed / controlled by supporting every NID again and again.

Hi, i'm ACMember,IWDistt.310 and a rotarian as well. I personally feel that we need to educate women (mothers) for their children' heath in totality. We face lots of revolt in some areas due to their ignorance, illiteracy and myths. And, for this, each of us should take this responsibility as religion.

Jean -Marc Giboux has devoted much time to documenting Rotary's polio eradication efforts and I thank him. His photos radiate genuine warmth and compassion. They poignantly tell the whole story.. The last photo in the slide show is a reminder that we cannot forget those we missed and also reminds us of why we must finish our job .

In the slide show the last slide could be a smiling child with the following remarks: Two billion children under the age of five have received the oral polio vaccine, sparing an estimated 5 million from a lifetime of paralysis and preventing 500,000 new cases each year.
