What if #Rotary never accepted the challenge to #endpolio. Over 350,000 kids getting polio every year, missing out on the simple joys of childhood. That was the reality then–now there are only 2 countries remaining, let’s make it 0! We can have a polio free world.

[K.R. Ravindran @KRRavindran105]

During 2020- 21 membership remained relatively steady with more than 1.4 million Rotarians and Rotaractors in more than 48,000 clubs. Existing clubs continue to attract new members and engage current members & hundreds of new and different types of clubs have also been formed.

1/2 Good news on polio front.
For first time  all sites undertaking  environmental 
testing for wild poliovirus in Pakistan & in Afghanistan near the border have concurrently shown ZERO presence of the wild polio virus. Plus we’ve also gone 14 weeks without a wild poliovirus case

1/2 Today the Otto and Fran Walter Foundation signed an agreement with the Rotary Foundation pledging a sum of $15.5m in order to set up a Peace Centre in the Middle East called the Otto & Fran Walter Rotary Peace Center. So obliged to Marty Helman who made this gift possible

[K.R. Ravindran @KRRavindran105]

In addition to outright gift of $10m The Otto & Fran Walter Foundation will commit a further $5m to ensure TRF has no costs to run new Peace centers program in the Middle East and North Africa. Operational costs to open new center will also be fully covered by the directed gift

[K.R. Ravindran @KRRavindran105]

Happy to announce that the Trustees agreed to establish a new Peace Centre in the Middle East with a fully funded gift of over $10m from Otto & Fran Walter Foundation.This is a massive boost to our Peace program.The center will be named The Otto & Fran Walter Rotary Peace Centre

[K.R. Ravindran @KRRavindran105]

In the six months  period July - Dec ’20 the Rotary Foundation has sanctioned 1,197  Global Grants for $87.5 million.  Compare this with 634 grants for same period last year at a cost of $46.4 million. Great work Rtns. You are truly making a difference in the world.

On a windy day in Delta, stopped by Ladner Rotary's pumpkin stand at Tsawwassen Mills, in support of their work to eradicate polio worldwide.

Rotary awards up to 130 fully funded scholarships/ year for dedicated peace &development leaders to study at any of its seven peace centers programs. In 15 years, our Centers have trained over 1,300 individuals from 115 countries for careers in peacebuilding.

[K.R. Ravindran @KRRavindran105]

On July 1st I assume leadership of the Rotary Foundation at perhaps one of the most challenging times. But Rtn’s have vision to see what others cannot - the problems, potential, promise, and purpose. Your passion will help overcome all challenges ahead.
