Vaccinations we take for granted

One more note today. I thought you might enjoy this shot of one of our top agents geared up to help facilitate the Rotary-sponsored polio vaccination program happening this week in surrounding villages. Hayford is a special soul, a real opinion leader with boundless energy, and an infectious joie de vivre. This elder gentlemen covers many kilometers per day on foot and on his grandson's too-small bicycle to spread the word convincingly on any topic of community benefit from the importance of vaccinations to re-chargeable batteries.

On this particular day, he traveled about 4-5 kilometers from his village to meet us on the main road at 7:30 to exchange used batteries for fresh, BEFORE going to the village where he was helping to manage the polio vaccinations taking place on that day.

We’re lucky to have him and he's a joy to know.

Please feel free to share with all the Rotarians you know so they can share the pride in the good work they are doing.
