ONE STEP AHEAD

by Audrey Mariel Candor, Rotaract Club of Carmona

Annually, Rotary International and its partners and sponsored clubs hold an event that commemorates the importance of eradicating polio. Donating and fundraising were the usual projects and programs that the organization executed. Each club from a different district and area gives its part and serves the community, thus, we always say that we are close. However, when will be the time when we can say that we made it?

Last month, in October, in the City of Imus, Cavite, the Rotaract Club of Carmona, together with the Interact Club of Carmona, and their mother club, the Rotary Club of Carmona, participated and expressed their support in Ending Polio. With a grandiose and creative style, they built a float that showed the significance of extinguishing the disease.

The vehicle decals’ red and yellow hues, which stand for the organization’s fervor and continual fight against polio, are a fantastic show that was used for each campaign, every year.

Polio is spreading every day, and each club is also disseminating programs to stop it. Each drop of medicine is a drop of sweat for service. Every patient who survived polio equates to every family that Rotaract Clubs changed lives.

Being part of a history of ending polio is a way expensive to every donation that each club has done. Though we’re further along than ever in our efforts, we’re not there yet. To keep up with vaccinations and surveillance activities, we still need resources. Each contribution will move us one step closer to the goal. Raise funds.

A major effort is required to cure a disease, and our partners cannot achieve it alone. Find out how you can assist us throughout our mission to treat polio. We need you. We need your participation to put an end to polio today. Participate and share the message to help us bring an end to the second human sickness in humanity. Act now.

Fundraising, programs, projects, and motorcades are all significant, hence, we still must act, year by year, day by day.

Rotaract is not an organization for nothing. Rotaract is one of the major enemies of polio. Rotaract is always one step ahead. We should be one step ahead against polio. So, we are not just close, but we made it through! We End Polio.
