NIGERIA THREE YEARS FREE FROM WILD POLIOVIRUS
A milestone in an ongoing journey
 to achieve global polio eradication


21 August  2019 marks three years since Nigeria
 last reported a case of wild poliovirus. 
This is an important public health milestone
 for the country and the entire Africa Region, 
which is now a step now closer to polio-free certification.
At the press conference in Abuja,
 the Executive Director of the National Primary Health Care
 Development Agency (NPHCDA),
 Dr Faisal Shuaib, acknowledged that the
 three-year mark is an important moment in the fight
 against polio but also emphasized the need for vigilance
  ̶ “one which we must delicately manage with cautious euphoria.”
“This achievement would certainly not have been 
possible without the novel strategies adopted in the 
consistent fight against polio and other vaccine preventable diseases.
 We commend the strong domestic and global financing
 and the commitment of government at all levels,”
 the Executive Director stated.
Innovation, partnership and resolve have all 
underpinned advancements made in Nigeria,
 together with the commitment of tens of thousands
 of health workers.
 “Since the last outbreak of wild polio in 2016 
in the northeast, Nigeria has strengthened supplementary 
immunization activities and routine immunization,
 implemented innovative strategies to vaccinate 
hard-to-reach children and improved acute flaccid paralysis (AFP)
 and environmental surveillance. 
These efforts are all highly commendable,”
 said WHO’s Officer in Charge for Nigeria, Dr Peter Clement.
However, despite progress, 
there is still much left to be done. 
Continued work to reach every last child
 with the polio vaccine,
 as well as strengthening surveillance and
 routine immunization across the region,
 will be key to keeping wild polio at bay
 and protecting the gains achieved.
Should there be no more cases in Nigeria
 or from countries in the Africa Region,
 and surveillance data submitted by countries meets
 evaluation criteria, the Africa Regional Certification Committee 
(ARCC) could certify the Region as wild polio-free 
as early as mid-2020.
The press briefing was attended by country representatives
 of all GPEI partners: WHO, UNICEF, CDC,
 Rotary and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation;
 as well as USAID, Government of Germany,
 EU and Canada.
 The Emir of Jiwa, representing the 
Northern Traditional Leaders Committee
 was also in attendance.

Hello Rotary,
My name is Marta Marioni, 

I came to district 9455 on exchange from 
Italy, Lake Como in 2015-2016 
and I was hosted by the Geraldton Rotary Club. 
I fell in love with Australia during my stay and

 I decided to come back to study here again.
Now, I am currently studying Architecture at Curtin University 

and I'll be staying in Perth for a semester. 
I live in a pretty, little unit in Riverton/Shelley

 with my bestfriend from Geraldton Samantha,
 who was also an exchange student.
While I'm here I was hoping to find a job and was wondering
 if anyone from the Rotary community knows anyone
 or anywhere hiring, preferably in the Riverton area,
 as I have to catch public transport to get there.
I am only staying here for 5 months but I would be happy
 and willing to work in any position. 
I am happy to do babysitting as I love kids
 and am also a native Italian speaker
 and would love to help out those willing to learn
 to increase their knowledge in this roman language.
 I haven't had much work experience back home 
but I consider myself a fast learner and am willing
 to gain as much knowledge and experience as I can.

I would love it if you could share my email throughout
 the other Rotary clubs to spread the word. 

Thank you for taking the time to read. 
I hope to hear from you soon! 


Ciao,
Marta Marioni

 Rotary Club of Northbridge International Director, Joy Northover, 
presents June Wade with a cheque for $2,000
 to help with Shelterbox’s disaster relief work.
$2,000 Aid for Shelter
The Rotary Club of Northbridge has made another donation
 to Shelterbox, an international disaster relief organisation
 supported by Rotary clubs around the world.
June Wade, Coordinator for Shelterbox, told this week’s club meeting
 of the recent changes the organisation has made to adapt
 to the needs of disaster victims in different countries.
 In addition to the traditional $1,000 Shelterbox containing a tent,
 cooking equipment, blankets etc.,
 they now also offer a Shelterkit containing a tarpaulin, saw, hammer, shovel
 and other tools to help repair homes damaged by natural disasters.
They can also provide a kit with blackboard paint, chalk, pencils
 and paper to help school teachers re-establish lessons after a disaster.
This week, Shelterbox HQ in Cornwall, U.K. is monitoring 
the effects of floods in Bangladesh and landslides in India 
in anticipation that assistance may be required.
 They work closely with weather authorities to ensure help arrives when needed.
