December – Disease Awareness & Prevention
Rotary’s top priority is the eradication of polio, but our members take on far greater responsibilities to fight disease. They set up health camps and training facilities in undeveloped countries and in communities struggling with HIV/AIDS and malaria. They also design and build the infrastructure for doctors, nurses, governments, and partners to reach the one in six people in the world who can’t afford to pay for health care.
Disease prevention and treatment takes on many forms, from supporting studies to helping immunize people to improving drinking water and the sanitation infrastructure. The world relies on Rotary to tackle these global challenges, and to set an example for others to follow.
Next Meeting: 10th December. 2015.
Pres. Noel welcomed Rotarians Heather, Gay, Graeme, Stewart and Noel along with Rotary Partners Pam, Jeanette and Robyn to what Rtn Stewart informed us was International Animal Day.
Apologies were received from Rtn. Bryan who left that morning for the World of Difference tour to Cambodia and Rtn Ray. You may follow Bryan’s tour via Facebook, Search for World of Difference then community group. (The group arrived safely and yesterday (4th Dec) had a cultural learning day with a visit to Kulen mountain and waterfall.)
