Jacob Stone is a nurse, not a professional filmmaker,

 but what he captured during a recent trip to Uganda

 is the extraordinary dedication of the health workers 

who travel from house to house vaccinating children against polio.

 Follow this ordinary Aussie guy as he experiences the gruelling intensity,

 as well as the sheer satisfaction, of being involved in a polio immunization campaign

ON A LIGHTER NOTE!!

Rolling Safari

Many historians are unaware of a little-known aspect of American history
involving George Washington.
The Father of our Country became an almost apocryphal figure,
 and people know a lot of the stories and myths surrounding George Washington.
We remember the story of his supposedly throwing a silver dollar across the Potomac River.
 We remember other stories about young George's penchant for always telling the truth.
But few people or even historians know the story of another incident
in George's youth that helped cement his reputation for honesty;

George's father was more than a planter in Colonial Virginia.
He was also a collector of colonial artifacts
. He was famous for his collection of wooden Indians.
 In fact, his collection was famous in the Colonies.
 Young George, intent on sharpening his skills with the hatchet,
went into the large room where his father kept his collection
of valuable, hand-carved Indian figures and proceeded to chop them to pieces.

When George's father saw the damage that George had hewn with his axe,
he confronted him.

"George," he asked, "are you responsible for this?"

"I cannot tell a lie, father," he answered.
"I cut down your Cherokees."

it was just a simple job!!!

Bus Stop

In the late 1800s, not wanting to be outdone by American rodeo, an

English fellow decided to become a rodeo star. Not having a horse, or

any cattle, he cast about for some way to perform. His vocation was

building outhouses, and he had several samples behind his house. He

had also installed a couple of standing gas lamps in his yard.

As a start, he decided that lassoing these objects would be good

practice. After all, he reasoned, they may not be moving targets, but

at least he could get the hang of the rope.

Now he needed a mount. Not having a horse, he thought a bicycle would

be a good substitute, and so he grabbed a coil of rope, hopped on his

bicycle and off he went. He was phenomenally successful, and quickly

got the hang of it.

Each day a friend of his would stop by to watch and give

encouragement. Upon showing up one day, after the Englishman had been

practicing for a couple of weeks, the friend noticed that the

Englishman had taken to riding with no hands, and whirling two lassos

at the same time. The Englishman proceed to lasso an outhouse, then

immediately followed with a perfect throw over one of the lamps, all

the while singing out, . . . "Here we go loop the loo, here we go loop

the light!"
