On Tuesday 24th February Rita and I attended District 1230 End Polio Now Photographic Exhibition in the Mitchell Library Glasgow. The event was well attended by Rotarian's and representatives of all of the Asian communities in Glasgow. Past District Governor Drew Hughes welcomed everyone and introduced District Governor Catherine Stewart who gave an address on our challenge of ridding the world of polio. The amazing donations from the Bill & Malinda Gates Foundation of $350,000000 is indeed helping to achieve our goal of a polio free world by 2012. The exhibition portrayed many harrowing images and stories coupled with an equal amount of success stories and images from India, Pakistan, Nigeria and Afghanistan.
