End Polio Now Lights up the Gibson Centre

 

  

On Wednesday February 23, 2011, for short while the face of the Gibson Centre look very different.  At 7:00 p.m. the outside of the buiding was bathed in the "End Polio Now" logo to celebrate the success of Rotarians and Friends elimination of the polio virus.  Today, Polio is endemic in only 4 countries, India, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Afghanistan but the battle isn't over yet.  The lighting up of building around the world on this day is a reminder that governments, foundations and Rotarian still have a lot of work to do. Only once the polio virus is eliminated from all countries will the world be safe from this disease.  Today Polio is only a plane ride away.  Support the End Polio Now Campaign.  Visit www.trfcanada.org to make a donation.
