The Rotary Wheels for Learning 2025 Team is going to be distributing 644 bicycles to rural Cambodian children. Each bicycle only costs $50.00 Canadian and comes with a tax receipt and email from our team while we are in Cambodia. Included in the email will be a picture of the child(ren) who have received their bicycle(s) as a result of our generous donors.
One Day. One Focus: Ending Polio
24 October
World Polio Day is an annual event held on 24 October to raise awareness about polio and the importance of polio vaccination. It is also a day for Rotary members, public health advocates, and all who want a world free from polio to come together, recognize our progress in the fight to end polio, and talk about the actions we need to take in order to eradicate the disease forever. Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 35 years. Our goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever.
