Rotary Foundation Newsletter

(Bangkok, Thailand)  The May 2012 issue of The Rotary Foundation newsletter, Our Foundation, contains several articles from the recent Rotary International convention in Thailand.  The lead article compares progress of Rotary's campaign to eradicate polio with the seemingly insurmoutable obstacles three-decades ago to eradicate smallpox.  That campaign was ultimately successful writes Jeetendra Sharma, associate editor, because a "dedicated, resourceful array of national and internationl staff persisted."  Sharma concludes that a "dedicated, resourceful array of national and international staff and the commitment of Rotary International" will be needed to defeat polio in the three remaining endemic countries.  Click here to read Sharma's article and learn about developments at the recent RI convention.
