The weekly meeting was held on 5th Nov, Rtn. Prashanth Hegde was the meeting coordinator. The young speaker for the day Ms. Akshatha Nayak gave us all a glimpse of her work on Foldscope. This is an ultra-affordable, paper microscope. Designed to be extremely portable, durable, and to give optical quality similar to conventional research microscopes (magnification of 140X and 2 micron resolution), Foldscope brings hands-on microscopy to new places. This project has been selected by SBI where she gets an opportunity to engage with tribal kids of Rajasthan in promoting this microscope. Henri Ferri, Pauline Leblay and Matthieu Pauvert, International students were introduced by Rtn. Shubha and they shared their experiences on Rotary In Action @ France.

Rotary Information by Rtn Sucharitha ShettyProject Fairs : Rotary’s project fairs connect clubs that are seeking international service projects with those that are interested in collaborating with global partners. Project fairs typically last two to three days and may include visits to service projects or opportunities to experience the local culture.Who can attend?Any club representative or Rotary member who is interested in supporting an international service project can attend a project fair.

Questions on Project Fairs - Pieter Koeleman Rotary Club of Campbell RiverWhat was the Project Fair like?I networked with Rotarians over meals, visited and participated in service projects, learned about local priorities, gathered information about projects for my club to consider supporting.How did you and your club select a project to support? I brought home a lot of information about different projects seeking international partners, which I shared with my club’s World Community Service Committee. The committee and our club voted to support the District 9101 Public Toilets Project because of its large-scale impact.What challenges did you need to overcome to work well together?Gaining international support takes time: I personally visited clubs throughout Vancouver Island to present on the project, answer questions, and secure support. I also reached out to others who attended the West Africa Project Fair for the support of their clubs and districts.

All developed anti-polio antibodies and experienced no negative reactions to the vaccine.In 1954, national testing began on one million children, ages six to nine, who became known as the Polio Pioneers. On April 12, 1955, the results were announced: the vaccine was safe and effective. Salk forfeited 7 billion dollars by refusing to patent the vaccine preferring to see it distributed as widely as possible at an affordable price.

In 1947, Jonas Salk, an American medical researcher and virologist, was appointed director of the Virus Research Laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. He discovered the Polio vaccine, composed of “killed” polio virus, that could immunize without risk of infecting the patient. Salk administered the vaccine to volunteers who had not had polio, including himself, his lab scientist, his wife and their children.
