While checking our YouTube rankings for our social media director series I noticed we had lost some momentum and so decided to lock and load the video relating to Rotary International. I am a member of Windsor & Eton Rotary Club and enjoy our weekly lunches. Running my own business means that I can’t make it every week but do try and make it every other Monday. Rotary International do amazing work across the globe ... just read how they are actively raising hundreds of millions of dollars to irradiate polio. In the months leading up to the FIFA World Cup in June, Rotary clubs across Africa have been gearing up for the final push to kick polio out of the continent. On 23 February, Rotary’s 105th anniversary, a Kick Polio Out of Africa campaign launched with the symbolic kicking of a soccer ball signed by Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, a polio survivor. The journey began in Cape Town, South Africa, one of the host cities for the 2010 World Cup. The ball will travel through 22 polio-affected countries en route to the RI Convention in Montréal, Québec, Canada, in June. The primary sponsor of the campaign is DHL Express. Following is a roundup of the ball's most recent stops on its journey through Africa. • The ball's arrival in Benin 18 April served as a powerful catalyst to mobilize volunteers for an immunization drive beginning 24 April in the country and 18 other West and Central African nations. After a press conference and signing by dignitaries, the ball stopped at several Rotary clubs in Benin. It ended its stay at the Rene Pleven Stadium, where Rotarians, UNICEF staff, and coaches from the national soccer team attended two matches. • The symbolic soccer ball received a rousing welcome as it touched down 10 April in Abuja, Nigeria. In February 2009, governors from all 36 Nigerian states gathered in the city to sign a commitment to polio eradication. Minister of State for Health Alhaji Suleiman Bello autographed the ball at a ceremony at the National Stadium press center. The three-day visit also included a cocktail party at the home of Past RI President Jonathan Majiyagbe and a formal presentation of the ball to the Northern Traditional Leaders Committee on Primary Health Care. • The soccer ball's arrival in Douala, Cameroun, 7 April dovetailed with a meeting of The Rotary Foundation's African Regional PolioPlus Committee. Traditional dancers and music accompanied the ball as it arrived at the committee’s hotel, where it was signed by the minister of health. After a media event, a caravan of DHL vehicles, taxis, motorbikes, and a car displaying the End Polio Now logo paraded through the streets of Douala. • Rotarians in Bangui, Central African Republic, organized a ceremony for the soccer ball as it arrived in the country 1 April. The country's minister of public health and minister of youth and sport, presidents of several soccer clubs, and other dignitaries took part in the nationally televised event, also covered by major newspapers. A youth soccer game followed. Your support of the “Kick Polio Out of Africa” campaign will help support the effort to end polio forever. Signatures gathered online will be presented to the leadership of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative partners as a show of global support for the campaign. All donations will help Rotary raise $200 million to match $355 million in challenge grants received from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The resulting $555 million supports immunization campaigns in countries where polio continues to infect and paralyze children. As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, children everywhere remain at risk. By donating now, you can help Rotary achieve a polio-free world. For as little as US$0.60 worth of vaccine, a child can be protected against polio for life. ABOUT POLIO Polio is a crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease. Polio (poliomyelitis) still strikes children, in countries in Africa, Asia, and the Middle East. Polio can cause paralysis and sometimes death –it often advances within hours and is almost always irreversible. Because there is no cure, the best protection is prevention. Since 1988, Rotary International and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI)—the World Health Organization, UNICEF, and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention—have worked to end polio. To date, Rotary has contributed more than $900 million and countless volunteer hours to help immunize more than 2 billion children. Thanks to Rotary and its partners, the world has seen polio cases plummet by more than 99 percent, preventing five million instances of childhood paralysis and 250,000 deaths. When Rotary began its eradication work, polio infected more than 350,000 children annually. In 2009, fewer than 1,700 cases were reported worldwide. ABOUT ROTARY Founded in Chicago in 1905, Rotary is a worldwide organization of more than 1.2 million business, professional, and community leaders. There are 33,000 Rotary clubs in more than 200 countries and geographical areas. |
