How Rotary's Big Project Made a Huge Difference in Sri Lanka
We do not have polio in Sri Lanka. We have not had it now, for more than twenty years. We eradicated it at the height of an armed conflict and terrorism. And the fact that it
happened as it did, was due in no small part to you here—to
the work of Rotary, and the work of Rotarians at that time in Sri Lanka – inspired by none other than Rotarian President
Ravindran.
‘The Ministry of Health officials had looked at these crazy Rotarians and said, “If you haven’t noticed, there’s a war going on. We don’t have control in the North and the East, so what is it you want us to do?” then Rotary President Ravindran had answered them saying, “Don’t worry about it. We’ll take care of the war.”
In the end the Ministry of Health said, OK, go ahead, if you can
stop the war, then we can vaccinate the whole country.
TODAY, GLOBALLY POLIO CASES ARE REDUCED BY 99.9%. ROTARY NEEDS YOUR
SUPPORT TO COMPLETE THE JOB.
