POLIOPLUS
Visit Rotary
International for additional information.
In 1985, Rotary launched the PolioPlus program to protect
children worldwide from the cruel and fatal consequences of
polio. In 1988, the World Health Assembly challenged the world
to eradicate polio. Since that time, Rotary's efforts and
those of partner agencies, including the World Health Organization,
the United Nations Children's Fund, the United States Centers
for Disease Control and Prevention, and governments around
the world, have achieved a 99 percent reduction in the number
of polio cases worldwide. Rotarians stand at the brink of
a great victory and look forward to celebrating the global
eradication of polio."

Quarters for Kenya
Visit www.quartersforkenya.org
for additional information.
As HIV / AIDS in Africa reaches pandemic levels, millions
of children have lost both parents. 6,300 orphans of AIDS
are created each day. Help AIDS orphans by joining Rotary
in fighting the HIV/AIDS crisis in Kenya through your support
of Quarters for Kenya. Quarter by quarter, we will build
two new orphanages in Nairobi, Kenya, in the memory of Charles
Kean, as we increase awareness of AIDS transmission and
prevention. |
:: BAJA
Orphanage
Let the Little Children Come orphanage and Agua Viva
Day Care center are in a rural area located many miles outside
of Ensenada. They provide a loving, caring environment for
children who have either been abandoned by their parents
or whose parents are unable to care for them during the
week while they are working. The children are provided food,
clothes, vitamins, school uniforms and school supplies (both
mandatory in Mexico), and transportation to school. Both
of these sites stress education and provide supervision
for homework. Many of these children would be unable to
go to school and would not have their nutritional needs
met if it were not for these two agencies.
The most urgent needs are the ones that Redlands Sunrise
Rotary tries to meet each month. Once a month we collect
an average of $125 to $150 from our members and then purchase
as much as possible to meet the greatest needs. These needs
include cleaning supplies, school supplies, children's vitamins,
diapers, formula, food and money. The supplies are then
taken to Mexico by the Mexican Christian Children's Assoc.
which distributes food and other items to a large number
of orphanages in Baja. |
