As long as polio threatens even one child anywhere in the world, children everywhere remain at risk. The stakes are that high.

. The Interact and Rotary clubs in 7430 (with help from Honeoye Lake Rotary, District 7120) collected and filled 502 backpacks to send (gratis Royal Caribbean Cruise) to North and Northeast Haiti.  The packs hit a bit of a snag going from the port of Labadee to the schools in Cape Haitian and Ouanaminthe, when a landslide blocked the only road... but intrepid Rotarians Magarette Georges and Dalvimar Debré from Cape Haitian and Joy Miksic from District 7430 fought through the setback, and managed to free the packs in a couple days.  Students, displaced from their schools by the earthquake in Port-au-Prince, received the backpacks through 5 cooperating schools.  They also received money for purchase of text books in their new schools.  One of the School Directors commented, "we have never had anyone just offer help like this before."  This was a desperate school, with teachers who were working as volunteers 7 days a week to accommodate students from Port-au-Prince.
