Well said! Rotary International first had the vision of a World free of polio. This was not a pipe dream. #EndPolio is within reach. We can’t be complacent and Rotarians are not!
Hats off to polio survivor RAMESH FERRIS who uses his legs as a tool to educate people about how #VaccinesWork. Truly inspiring.
