A Rotary LOL Moment

Thought of the Week

“I’ve developed a new philosophy, I only dread one day at a time.” ~ Charles M. Schulz

7 Questions About

1. There were more cases of wild poliovirus in 2018 than in 2017. Should we be discouraged?

No, not at all. We’ve always expected the number of cases to fluctuate somewhat as we get closer to zero. We’ve gone four straight years with fewer than 100 cases per year. That’s an indicator of great progress. With dedication from governments and Rotarians in areas still affected by polio, we’ll get there.

2. Why is it so difficult to eradicate a disease like polio?

Remember that even in the United States, where the polio vaccine was readily available, it still took 20 years to become polio-free. And the areas we are working in now don’t have health systems that are as well-developed as in the United States.

Hope Without Borders has grown a lot in the last several years, but our mission remains the same -  empowering people and transforming communities. We help the needy, vulnerable to change their lives as they learn new skills,  technologies and capabilities. When someone learns a new skill, they teach someone else, and in the end you have helped entire communities.

We are about community development, whether in America or abroad. Many in despair have "basic needs" such as clean water, safe sanitation, nutritious food, health-dental care, adequate shelter and education, which many of us take for granted. We empower, inspire and resource individuals and communities in need starting with their strengths, listening, learning and working together on life-changing sustainable development initiatives.

Community development ideas flourish, but the landscape is littered by numerous failed agency,  government and organization projects at a devastating loss to the most needy. We believe working and serving together we can change the lives of the needy worldwide spreading HOPE one person and one community at a time.
