The Power of Taking Uncomfortable Chances
reminds me of two important truths in Rotary.
September 2022 , 2020 Page 6 September Message
One we rely on local, on the ground expertise to do what we do best. And two sometimes you have to take uncomfortable chances to reach important goals. Every day, I am honoured to learn from our Rotary family. Every lesson is an opportunity to grow, and each story adds a chapter to our collective Imagine Rotary year.
At first, it was a breeze. We wound through misty green coffee and corn fields covering the hillside like a patchwork quilt. But at a river crossing, we found a bridge washed away. The only way to continue would be to ford the river in our small bus. There were a few tense moments, but we decided to give it a try and, thankfully, we made it across Thissafely.adventure
JENNIFER JONES President, Rotary International
“Imagine, a world that deserves our best where we get up each day knowing that we can make a difference.”
Recently, Nick and I spent time in Guatemala, where we met wonderful fellow Rotary members and families who unofficially adopted me as “Tia Jennifer.” On the third day, after visiting Patzun in the mountainous western highlands, we set out for Lake Atitlan, which we needed to reach y nightfall. If we took a back road, we could get there faster. Locals told us it had just been repaved and assured us, “You’ll have no problem.”

More than 775 million people over the age of 15 are illiterate. That’s 17 percent of the world’s adult population. Our goal is to strengthen the capacity of communities to support basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparity in education, and increase adult literacy. We support education for all children and literacy for children and adults.
September 2022 , 2020 Page 8
Here is what the Rotary Club of St. Mary’s has to say about September’s theme.
In Rotary, the theme for the month of September is Basic Education and Literacy, one of the seven areas of focus. How can we take action?
ROTARY’S SEPTEMBER FOCUS ON BASIC EDUCATION & LITERACY
Participate in a world community project to provide teacher training and needed classroom supplies. A few of our members already help load containers heading to South Africa with unwanted school room supplies from schools that have been closed in our area. We welcome more of our members to help with this worthy "Global Literacy Project" which is an ongoing project of the Rotary Club of Grand Bend.
Please join me in helping the Grand Bend club with this wonderful project. Not only do you have a great feeling of satisfaction knowing that these items will not be littering the dump but that children who have nothing will now have desks, chairs, blackboards, etc. You also have the opportunity to meet many wonderful Rotarians from our area.

FROM THE DISTRICT
On August 10, YEOs (Youth Exchange Officers), YECs (Youth Exchange Counselors) , Youth Exchange Committee members, and Youth Services Committee members from across D6330 gathered on Zoom for the first YEO & YEC Training session on the 2022 2023 Rotary year.
There was lots of excitement as we talked about welcoming our first Inbound students to the District in 3 years! Topics covered included Inbound program, the Outbound program, host families, and even the very exciting RYE regulatory framework.
Most rewarding program and experiences in Rotary. We are always looking for additional clubs to get involved by either hosting Inbound students or sending (sponsoring) Outbound students. As many past students and any Rotarian who's been involved in the program will tell you, it's one of the most rewarding programs and experiences in Rotary.

Thepolio.resumption of nationwide polio vaccination campaigns targeting 9.9 million children has been a critical Sincestep.
• Fifty six children (56) were paralysed by wild polio in 2020.
• In 2021, the number fell to four. This year to date, only one child has been paralysed, giving the country an extraordinary opportunity to end
September 2022 , 2020 Page 16
Wild poliovirus transmission in Afghanistan is currently at its lowest level in history.
Of the 3.6 million children who had been inaccessible to the programme, 2.6 million were reached during the November, December and January campaigns. With improved reach to previously inaccessible children throughout the February to July campaigns, the number children has been reduced to 0.7 million. Further campaigns are planned for the remainder of the year.
access also had a significant impact on polio surveillance activities. Afghanistan’s surveillance indicators remained above global standards throughout the transition. With access to all districts since August, the quality of activities has improved significantly including early case detection and Inreporting.June,the first review of the polio surveillance system in six years took place with WHO hosting a team of technical experts including epidemiologists and virologists. A small team visited in 2016, but insecurity and lack of access to much of the country limited the visitors’ movements to Kabul, Herat, Kandahar, Jalalabad, Mazar e sharif and Kunduz.
With Afghanistan and Pakistan sharing one epidemiological block, the two countries continue to coordinate cross border activities. December and May’s campaigns were synchronized with Pakistan’s national campaigns, focusing on high risk populations including nomadic groups, seasonal workers and communities straddling both Improvedborders.
2018, local-level bans on polio vaccination activities in some districts controlled by the Taliban had significantly reduced the programme’s ability to vaccinate every child across the country. With access to the entire country following the August transition, seven nationwide vaccination campaigns took place between November 2021 and June 2022, and a sub national campaign targeting 6.7 million children in 28 provinces took place in July.
This year, the 16 strong team visited 76 districts across 25 of the country’s 34 provinces. The review determined the likelihood of undetected poliovirus transmission in Afghanistan to be low. Recommendations, including upscaling surveillance in the country’s south and southeast, are being implemented.
September 2022 , 2020 Page 17
WHO’s polio team in the southeast were among the first responders following the devastating earthquake in Paktika and Khost provinces in June. In addition to providing critical health care, the team’s experience working among local communities provided the foundations of an assessment tool that mapped affected communities and ensured accurate data guided a focused response in the immediate aftermath.
With more than twenty years on the ground in Afghanistan, the polio programme continues to leverage its extensive operational capacity to deliver better health outcomes for all Afghans.
Although the number of children paralysed by polio has reduced significantly in Afghanistan, the threat is far from gone and the programme faces significant challenges. While access has improved across the country, accessing every child though house to house vaccination remains a challenge in some areas leaving immunity gaps and, with them, children at risk.

In the face of an unprecedented humanitarian crisis, in addition to day to day polio activities, polio staff continue to regularly monitor the functionality of health facilities across the country as well as support ongoing vaccination campaigns including measles and COVID 19.
- Margaret Chan, Director General, World Health Organization
On 24 February, eight polio workers were killed in targeted attacks in the country’s north, not the first time polio workers had come under attack in the course of their life saving work. Four of those killed were women. Female polio workers play a critical role in the programme, building community trust and reaching all children.
While the polio programme has made important progress in the last 12 months, sustaining those gains with high quality campaigns that vaccinate all children and build enough immunity to end circulation of the virus for good is critical.
“ROTARY CONTINUES TO BE THE HEART AND SOUL OF POLIO ERADICATION.”
"FAILURE TO ERADICATE POLIO IS UNFORGIVABLE, FOREVER."
"When we eradicate polio - and we will - we will have proved ourselves an organization capable of great things. We'll have given the world a gift that will endure forever."
The sharp rise in the number of wild polio cases in Pakistan is a cause for concern, and the detection of one case each in Malawi and Mozambique is a reminder of the continued risks of poliovirus and the urgency required to permanently interrupt transmission in both Afghanistan and Pakistan.
A polio-free Afghanistan is within reach but there is still a long way to go.

“This partnership is natural: there’s a Habitat affiliate and a Rotary Club in almost every town,” says Dr. Liz Henke, a member of East Chapel Hill Rotary (North Carolina, US), who played a crucial role in pilot testing the idea.
Rotarians have added a powerful tool that makes housing more affordable AND slows climate change: Habitat Solar, a new initiative under Rotary’s partnership with Habitat for Humanity which assists Habitat to add rooftop solar to eligible new homes.
“Here's a video with the family's testimonial! The more electric costs rise, the greater the savings will be. More recently our local Habitat affiliate has been installing 5.4 kW arrays each preventing over 300,000 lbs. of carbon emissions over 30 years, the equivalent of planting 3,800 trees or 350,000 miles not driven by a gas powered “Habitatcar.”isaworld leader in low and moderate income (LMI) housing development,” Liz Henke points out.
”
ESRAG’s Renewable Energy Task Force has teamed up with Habitat International’s building science specialist Molly Berg on a manual offering field tested advice, case studies, and links to rebates and tax credits available by state across the US.
“It’s huge for the family and huge for the environment,” she explains. “The typical Habitat family’s monthly electric bill in our part of the US is $100. Our first Habitat solar installation in 2020, a 5.1 kW array, is saving the family $62 a month.
Participating families will achieve big savings on monthly electric bills and prevent hundreds of thousands of tons of carbon emissions over the useful life of their panels.

“When Habitat shows that adding rooftop solar is feasible, we hope other LMI developers will follow its example.”
By Mina Venkataraman, PhD ESRAG South Asia has started collaborating with the environmental NGO ATREE on their citizen science program to increase the numbers of urban pollinators by establishing bee hotels.
September 2022 , 2020 Page 20
By adopting Habitat Solar as a project, your Club will discover a new way to engage young people as passionate volunteers.
ATREE consulted with Rotarians in Rotary District 3291 on how to design bee hotels and get data sent to them. We decided to expand this program to D3232 and proposed a memorandum of understanding between the Districts and ATREE in which Rotarians would help document the kinds and numbers of pollinators in our city.
September 2022 , 2020 Page 21

Her enthusiastic response inspired RID A. S. Venkatesh, currently RI Treasurer, to call the District Governor, Rotarian Nandakumar, the next day to suggest that he double the scale of our project.
Pollination an essential ecosystem service is imperiled by the loss of insect populations due to the use of pesticides and other anthropogenic activities.
Click here for a short video from the Chair of ESRAG about what clubs can do for the environment.
Studies in Europe have shown that the decline in pollinator populations is affecting crop yield. We have reached a point where hand pollination, which used to be a pastime for kitchen gardeners, has become a paid job in vegetable farms across India in the quest to increase yield. But bees are doing extremely well in urban areas with multiple garden sources. The majority of the solitary bees roost in small cavities.

Urchick says Rotary’s leaders can offer a vision and a plan for overcoming these challenges.
“Measures taken by Rotary leadership to survive and end critical challenges often make our organization stronger and more resilient for future events,” Urchick says. “This kind of essential leadership also creates new levels of cooperation, even among rivals, when Rotarians pull together as people of action to serve and solve a crisis.”
September 2022 , 2020 Page 25
Making regionalization a priority is crucial, says Urchick.

Exchange guidelines
September 2022 , 2020 Page 26
Per the direction of PRIP Ian Riseley, and with support from the RI Board of Directors, the Rotary Friendship Exchange program expanded as of 1 July 2017. Exchanges will now be open to Rotarians and non Rotarians with an emphasis to include more young professionals in exchanges.
• Vocational: Exploring specific professions or jobs in a different cultural context
Exchange participants must secure travel insurance for their trips.
Group Cultural Exchanges
Following an exchange, participants are expected to submit a report to their district, as well as rotary.service@rotary.org, including, but not limited to, program reactions, suggestions for improving relationships between the two countries, and what participants learned about Rotary’s work in a different part of the world.
Exchange participants and their districts continue to assume all financial responsibilities for the exchanges. If your exchange has a vocational component and complies with the district’s grant guidelines, it is possible district funds may be used to offset costs.
• Cultural: Experiences highlighting a region’s ethnicity(ies), food, language(s), history, places and symbols of significance, and more
With a particular emphasis on cultural immersion, these exchanges ideally incorporate non Rotarian young professionals, or those in the transitional stages of their career, to foster greater awareness, intercultural understanding, deeper connections, and a broader global mindset.

FRIENDSHIP EXCHANGE
Exchanges remain coordinated at the district level. Participants continue to determine all exchange details, including exchange location and dates, travel and housing arrangements, and the program schedule.
• Service: Opportunities for hands-on project involvement and support
Districts are encouraged to participate in group cultural exchanges, a subset of Rotary Friendship Exchanges.
Friendship Exchange is an international exchange program for Rotary members and friends that allows participants to take turns hosting one another in their homes and clubs. The Rotary Friendship Exchange program allows participants to experience a different culture, broaden their international understanding, foster goodwill, explore their professions in a different context, build longstanding friendships, and establish a foundation for peace and service.
Districts` are encouraged to organize exchanges around one or more of the following themes:
