PURPLE FOR POLIO
Your club can take part in the Rotary in Britain and Ireland crocus planting programme - help paint District 1200 Purple 4 Polio
Crocus Corm Planting
The most popular Purple4Polio activity is the planting of purple crocus corms, and in 2018, around 2.5 million were planted and more are planted each year! If you see a display of purple crocuses in public areas in your community there is a good chance they were planted by a local Rotary Club.
Why do we do this? To raise awareness of the Polio Plus programme which has almost eradicated polio worldwide. Children under 5 are vaccinated and their little finger nail is painted purple to show they have been vaccicnated. Rotarians have the opporunity to volunteer to help with this programme and a visit to India, and to understand the chanllenges this programme has overcome, is an unforgettable experience for everyone who participates.
