LOCAL ROTARIAN (Marie Gerrard Kilmore) PROVIDES POLIO VACCINE TO INDIAN CHILDREN
It is only 50-60 years ago when Iron Lungs were widely used to help Polio victims stay alive. Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever. As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, we've reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since our first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979. Today, polio remains endemic only in Afghanistan and Pakistan, but it’s crucial to continue working to keep other countries polio-free.

SCHOOL WELL-BEING WAGONS
Southern Mitchell Rotary is introducing on a trial basis what we call Well-Being Wagons. They are like a little garden wagon that will be filled with activities such as colouring pencils, books, jigsaws, games, balls etc. These will be going into two of our local primary schools, two wagons for each school, age based, so the first will be based for ages 5 to 8 and the second nine till 12. These will be utilised during playtime and lunchtime for those children that find themselves sitting alone with no friends etc. The schools will introduce a well-being wagon program which isolated children can join and have activities to do rather than sitting alone during recess and lunchtime.
