St. Stevens Polio Surgery and Rehab Print E-mail
Monday, 04 May 2009 09:25

The St. Stevens’ Polio Surgery and Rehab project provides funding for surgery and rehabilitation for 172 children, ages 18 and younger, who are victims of polio from the region surrounding New Delhi, India. The project includes transportation, evaluation, surgery, limb braces, rehabilitation, and follow up.  Our host partner is the New Delhi Midtown Rotary. St. Stevens is well known for its polio surgery and rehab facility. For the past decade, over 700 Indian children have benefited from the partnership and collaboration between New Delhi Midtown Rotary and St. Steven’s. We have received a Matching Grant from TRF for this project.

The Rotary Club of Temecula is seeking district partners to continue this effort in the coming year.

Rotary Avenues of Service

Rotary’s commitment to Service Above Self is channeled through four Avenues of Service, which form the foundation of Rotary.

Club Service

Club Service focuses on strengthening fellowship and ensuring the smooth functioning of Rotary clubs.

Vocational Service

Vocational Service involves club members serving others through their professions and aspiring to high ethical standards. Rotarians, as business leaders, share skills and expertise through their vocations, and they inspire others in the process.

Community Service

Community Service is the opportunity Rotary clubs have to implement club projects and activities that improve life in the local community.

International Service

International Service encompasses efforts to expand Rotary’s humanitarian reach around the world and to promote world understanding and peace. It includes everything from contributing to PolioPlus to helping Rotary Youth Exchange students adjust to their host countries.
