RAWCS has started a new appeal to provide funds.

 for disasters affecting the Australian 

  community for example

 the recent Wanneroo bush fires

in Northern Perth suburbs.

Our aim is to distribute funds to projects.

 that meet the needs identified.

in the RARF appeals (calls for funding)

 and that meet RAWCS project criteria.

as soon as possible in the aftermath of a disaster.

RAWCS works with Rotarians on the ground.

to see that effective program

which meet the identified needs,

 are commenced and completed.

in timeframes that support recovery

 and build long term resilience.

If your club would like to make

a   donation to this appeal

Polio this week

Headlines

·          

The WHO Executive Board (EB)

 is scheduled to take place on 22-27 January 2024,

and one of the topics that will be discussed by Member States is the global effort

to eradicate polio and to ensure that polio investments are sustained.

 to build strong, equitable and resilient health systems. 

To this effect, the Secretariat has prepared two reports.

which will inform Member State discussions, namely

 on polio eradication and on

 polio transition planning and post-certification.

  On polio eradication, the report provides.

 an update on work towards

 Goals 1 and 2 of the Polio Eradication Strategy 2022–2026.

 Specifically, it provides information on interrupting.

 all wild poliovirus transmission

in countries where the virus is endemic,

 stopping the transmission of circulating vaccine-derived poliovirus

 and preventing outbreaks in non-endemic countries,

and the current financing situation

. On transition and post-certification,

the report outlines the post-2023 strategic framework,

 building on lessons-learned from the implementation of the

2018-2023 Strategic Action Plan.

 Specifically, it highlights the changes that are foreseen.

to strengthen ownership and accountability,

 monitoring and evaluation, 

as well as actions tailored to country context.

For children like Pasilio,

 one accident can impact their entire life.

Pasilio’s injuries severely impacted his mobility.

and as a result,

he developed a profound sense of social isolation,

seldom venturing far from his father's side.

Thankfully, Pasilio’s story doesn’t end there.

 Interplast volunteer specialist surgeon, Dr David Morgan,

and the team were able to release.

 a lot of Pasilio’s scarring to give him.

 significant range of movement through his neck and his arms.

Now he can hold his chin up high.

and lift his right arm above his head.

Give new hope for the future to childlike Pasilio
