Читать книгу Go Play In the Traffic! - Lenet Compton - Страница 3

Author is a Spring Hill, Kansas Rotarian pictured here administering

the polio vaccine to an infant in India.

Several years ago I learned about the incredible work Rotary clubs and Rotary International is doing to eradicate the polio virus from the face of the earth (there are three poliovirus strains). The possibility of permanently eliminating a disease resonated with me; especially a disease that cripples children.

Two drops of the oral polio virus vaccine is all it takes to ensure a child is free from the threat of this crippling disease. At the writing of this book, endemic polio has been reduced to Nigeria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and India.

We’re almost there. We can’t give up now. Therefore, proceeds from this book will be donated to the polio eradication effort. Giving the two drops of vaccine to children in India was my “Rotary moment”. Let your purchase of this book be your moment. Become part of history – help wipe polio off the face of the earth!
