World Polio Day 2017

Sapian, Capiz. In the campaign and celebration of the World Polio Day (2017), D3850 Gov. Jundad Legislador and Rotary Club of Roxas, in partnership with the Rural Health and Municipality of Sapian, Capiz, continue the campaign on public awareness of Rotary's significant contribution in the eradication of polio worldwide.

Thru the World Health Organization, ROTARY is instrumental to make the vaccines/drops available and free to the community. They donate their resources (time and money) to help end polio. Bill-Melinda Gates Foundation matched their contribution and the countdown to history begins.

An additional of 9 kids benefited at Sapian RHU last October 24, 2017, after they have served a significant of 25 kids earlier in the morning of the same date in Brgy. Mongpong, Roxas City, Capiz. 

In Mongpong, the Roxas City Health officer, Midwives, Brgy Health Workers and Nurses facilitated the event with Brgy. Captain Ricardo Donato. 

Also, after the end polio drops, the group had the chance to visit Sapian National High School where more or less 100 teachers were informed about the World Polio Day celebration and its importance to the community, not to mention that Rotary plays a big significant role to making the vaccine/drops available and free for all. Everyone was surprised about the information. 

It was a very meaningful day for all. Thank you Rotary for #endpolio day. Let's continue to Make A Difference.
