The polio eradication efforts in Pakistan and Afghanistan

 are made more difficult by mountainous terrain.  

Afghanistan and Pakistan

 the two countries in which polio is still endemic.

 are closer than they have ever been to eradicating wild poliovirus,

 the World Health Organization (WHO) said last month

. It’s a surprising turn given that the eradication effort had been criticized.

 as floundering as recently as last year.

 With a small number of cases and limited geographical spread of the virus,

scientists agree that the two nation

s stand a real chance of stopping transmission.

 of wild poliovirus this year,

 but only if the eradication programmes in these countries.

can overcome persistent social and political challenges.

Wiping out wild poliovirus, of which there are three strains,

 termed serotypes

1, 2 and 3, has been the goal of global eradication efforts.

 since they began in 1988.

 Types 2 and 3 were successfully eradicated in 2015 and 2019.

, respectively, but type 1 continues to circulate in Afghanistan and Pakistan

 12 years after India quashed all forms of the wild virus,

 and 7 years after Africa did the same.

 










Another great night in the country with committed Rotarians when the

 Rotary Club of Narrogin and the Rotary Club of Wagin came together.

Beautiful setting, great food and terrific company as we talked.

 about creating more hope in the world!

 



Presidents Alan and Shelley doing a great job!





Last week the Rotary Club of Byford & Districts

celebrated our 25th anniversary.

 As charter members, Denise, and Tom

 welcomed past members and office bearers,

Past District Governors and Assistant Governors,

 Hugh Jones MLA, Michelle Rich our Shire President

 and Maxine Spencer the Probus Club President

and friends and family to the Byford & Districts Country Club.

 Ray and staff looked after us and we thank them very much.

 25 years of Rotary service is a great milestone to celebrate.

 We inducted 2 new members.

and reminisced about all the good things we have achieved.

 Thank you to our community for supporting us along the way.






















Over the past twelve months the Rotary Club of North Perth

 and the Rotary Club of Wyndham Harbour in Victoria

have been collaborating in providing a suitable charity outlet.

 for clothing, for donation,

 that is new but have some slight blemishes to them.

 

The clothing comes from a Fashion company called Fashion Biz.

 Fashion Biz have offices and warehouses throughout Australia.

and also in New Zealand, Canada, and USA.

 They donate these clothes as they are unsaleable to retail outlets.

 

Our club was contacted from a Rotarian.

 at the Wyndham Harbour Club in Victoria

 to see if we could assist.

 We found a charity that would accept these clothes.

 which was The Margaret Court Community Outreach Centre

 in Osborne Park.

 

Since we started our association

with Wyndham Harbour Rotary Club

some twelve months ago, we have collected.

10 pallets worth of clothing.

 We arranged for pickup of three more pallets of these clothes.

 by the Margaret Court Community Outreach Centre last week.

 

They were very grateful for these.

and will be put to good use for the people.

 that the Outreach Centre supports.

 A great result for two clubs working together.

 in providing assistance.

 to those in need in the community





Not long left to go now.
