Who makes a promise ... has to accomplish with it All Rotarians recognize that the eradication of polio was a promise we made to humanity in 1988. We have been fighting to reach this goal for more than two decades with dedication and obstinacy. We also know that the fulfillment of this promise is vital for our image and recognition by the community and that we cannot deviate from this task, characterized as the greatest priority. We also cannot let this promise get old, because we had promise what we can deliver. The fulfillment of difficult promises requires strategy, total attention and great unselfishness for us to be able to put into practice the changes contained on it. Initially we impregnated ourselves with a lot of energy knowing the immensurability of the program while we were going forward. And this advancement only was revealed with the establishment for the first time of the date to reach our goal - 2005, when we would complete 100 years of existence, as a pioneer service organization. To reach this goal plans were developed, that were improved along the journey and that allowed us to form into regiments essential partners like governments, the World Health Organization, the Center for Diseases Control, important Foundations, public and private organizations and without doubts, Rotarians.
