With the recent events in Samoa there has been a wake-up call world-wide on the importance of disease prevention and treatment.
The tragedy for us all is that while knowledge and treatments are available they are not universally or consistently applied to our populations.Rotary has Disease Prevention and Treatment as one of our six areas of focus. We also have a huge proactive engagement in this area with the End Polio Now and Rotary Give Every Child a Future campaigns, but there is still the need for doing more and doing better along with our international and local partners.
Our International Service Chair, Nick Hurley, joins me with his contribution on what we can do to support the people of Samoa.
From Lane and me we wish you all a very safe and joyous festive season with family and friends wherever you may be.
We are so impressed and proud of our District 9940 members and everything you are doing. Our people truly are people of action.
