The partnership between Rotary International and World Health Organization (WHO) goes back since 1988. In fact, Rotary were the pathfinders in first proposing the #EndPolio idea – inspired by the historic eradication of smallpox. And today, we are on the cusp of history, despite the setbacks. Rotarians are showing what the world can be: A world where courage defeats fear; Where community defeats indifference; Where determination defeats disease; Where peace defeats war; A world where your motto – service above self – really matters.
