"Put on your halo-cap, Do something beneficial for the society, & Be charitable!" (K, 2010)
Support this marvelously eleemosynary event organized by Rotaract Club of Taylor's University College, this is a cycling fund raising expedition. The funds raised from this event will go into the challenge in collecting the tota endowment of $222 million from Rotary in matching with the amount of kitty --- $333 million --- donated by the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation.
A total of $555 million will be invested in the immunization campaigns in developing countries, where to polio continues to infect and paralyze children, robbing them from their futures, and compounding the hardships faced in their families (rotary.org, 2010).
I am sure you will be asking...
What the "TUT..." is Polio?
• A crippling and potentially fatal infectious disease; polio, the short form for poliomyelitis, still haunts children mainly under the age of five in countries like Asia, Africa, and the Middle East.
• Polio can cause paralysis and sometimes will reach till the severity of death. Because as for now there is no cure for polio; and the best protection is prevention through immunization shots.
Many of you must be unfamiliar with Polio but it is okay because with every single droplets of effort that you have from spending time reading this post, till thinking of participating to support this charitable event, till passing the words around, and of course making up your mind to be part of it; it is the opportunity for us, together,
to making this event a success,
a child can be prevented from getting infected for his or her whole life time,
with just a US$0.60 vaccination.
