African region declared free of wild poliovirus

The World Health Organization (WHO) on 25 August announced that transmission of the wild poliovirus has officially been stopped in all 47 countries of its African region. 

This is a historic and vital step toward global eradication of polio, which is Rotary’s top priority.

After decades of hard won gains in the region, Rotary and its partners in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative (GPEI) — WHO, U.S. Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, UNICEF, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and Gavi, the vaccine alliance — are proclaiming the milestone an achievement in public health. 

They offer it as proof that strong commitment, coordination, and perseverance can rid the world of polio.

During the Coronavirus pandemic we are holding our weekly meetings through Zoom conferencing. 

IN THE MEANTIME…

We are learning to be a Rotary club in a completely new and fresh way through the use of video conferencing for our weekly meetings, Facebook, email and using old-fashioned telephone calls.

This also enables us to continue developing our important social aspects of being  Rotarians and encourages us in maintaining contact with and assisting with the needs of local charities.

We may not be able to gather for meetings but we are still very active and supporting the community as usual.

Projects….

Regrettably, some of our major projects are on hold until we come through this Global crisis, however, we are continuing with most of our projects and also our innovative fundraising activities. This enables us to continue supporting the many needs in East Grinstead.

WE ARE CONTINUING TO BE ROTARY IN A NEW AND EXCITING WAY
