END POLIO NOW PROJECTS
We are involved with Rotary's push to rid India, Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria of polio and hence ensure our children, and their children, will never know the crippling affects of this disease.
You can see in these pages how our Rotary Club is getting involved in this campaign to end polio now.
