PolioPlus
 
      On Wednesday May 27, 2020 Faribault Rotary was treated to a virtual presentation through Zoom by our very own Dr. Richard Huston. In November of 2019 Dr. Huston visited Pakistan to see first-hand the work being done to eradicate polio. Spending his time in the capital city of Karachi, he attended multiple Rotary Club meetings, and was quickly identified as being the featured speaker at most of them! He spent 8 days in Pakistan traveling to 5 different sites to vaccinate children for polio. Dr. Huston touched on the other initiatives PolioPlus is working on and those include disease prevention, clean water, improving health care and creating jobs.
      Dr. Huston has been and will continue to travel around to area organizations to present this program on his time in Pakistan, and Rotary. This week he will be making presentations to Owatonna Rotary and The Rotary Club of St. Charles with our good friend President Dan Hedge.
