It's painful to note that Nigeria still counts among Polio endemic areas. We lose a number of infants because we have complacently waited for the government. Thank God for the renewed vision, as our sincere response to the call of R. I. President John Kenny's call for all Rotarians to assist in the efforts to reduce child mortality, coupled with Bill & Melinda Gates' $200 Million Challenge; I BELIEVE THE END HAS TRULLY COME FOR POLIO Rotarians from all clubs, together with our spouses, children and friends should assist in disseminating information about the import of eradicating polio from the surface of the heart and ofcourse participate actively in NIPDs, SNIPDs etc. and also report threats.

Together we'll make a difference.

Today after resettling hundreds of wounded soldiers, I attribute my success to what Rotary taught me in 1997-99 - LOOK BEYOND YOURSELF. I relinquished my business of 30 years in 1999 to serve the polio affected and wounded soldiers with PROJECT HEALING TOUCH. Thanks to the backing of PRIP Raja K Saboo, PRIDs Sudershan Agarwal, OP Vaish, PDG Vivek Tankha , PDG Manjit Sawhney During 2009 -10 I would like to help Rotary International all over the world by helping give employment to persons affected with POLIO.

As our sincere response to the call of R. I. Pres. D.K. Lee for Rotarians to assist in the efforts to reduce child mortality, the Rotary Club of Loyola Heights, RI D-3780, is therefore currently planning to refurbish the Human Milk Bank at the Philippine Children's Medical Center, where in its Neonatal Intensive Care Unit, a number of patients continue to suffer from their ailments, aggravated by the unavailability of a steady supply of breast milk. We hope to be able to provide some of the equipment needed in sourcing, freezing and pasteurizing breast milk. Rotarians from our club, together with our spouses, children and friends will also assist in disseminating information about the value of breast milk and initiate a donation program for the Human Milk Bank. In these ways, we foresee a lower incidence of loss of the lives of children, giving them what may very well be their only chance to survive and, in the future, to have dreams of their own!
