PROGRAM
Rotary Service in India
Debbie Setlock shared with the club her recent trip to India which was a  Rotary Polio Immunization event.  Her trip included a visit to the Jaipur Foot Factory where prosthetic limbs are provided to Indian citizens free of charge.  The Rotary team toured the Post-polio surgery ward at St. Stephen's Hospital in Delhi.  That visit included meeting Dr. Mathew Varghese who has been a strong advocate for the treatment and eradication of Polio in India and the world.  Besides the polio immunization event,the trip included  a visit to an Eye Camp, a school Polio Rally, two toilet block dedications and of course, a visit to the Taj Mahal.

from farming accidents or motorcycle accidents.
