With polio still a serious threat to children in parts of the world – despite four decades of international efforts to eradicate the disease, the Rotary Club of New Amsterdam has pledged US$2,500 towards the global campaign, as Rotarians warn that the progress achieved must not lead to complacency.
The commitment was highlighted Sunday during the club’s annual Polio Walk and Breakfast in New Amsterdam, Region Six (East Berbice-Corentyne), held as part of activities marking World Polio Day, which was observed on October 24.
