Pakistan completed one year without any Polio cases yesterday. Well done friends and leaders of Pakistan. But don’t relax. Be vigilant. Now we have but one country – Afghanistan. So close to our goal of a polio free world!

Orphanages don't help children, they harm them. Every child wants a safe, loving family to grow up in. But millions of children confined to orphanages & other forms of institutional care around the world are being denied this. #AlwaysFamilyNeverOrphanages #Deinstitutionalisation
Five reasons orphanages harm children. 1 half the children confined in orphanages suffer violence: torture, beatings, physical + chemical restraints, and rape perpetrated by some staff, volunteers, people who pay for access to them, and from other children

So sorry to learn of the passing of Cliff Dochterman. One of my Rotary heroes and one of the first RI Presidents I met. A wonderful, inspirational speaker with a great sense of humour. I will cherish the note he sent when my nomination was announced. He will be sadly missed.

There are surplus vaccines in the Global North and people desperate to get vaccinated in the Global South. Let's coordinate a vaccine plan to keep everybody safe from this disease #vaccinequity
“No one is safe until everyone is safe” Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown tells #BBCBreakfast countries have ‘over ordered’ vaccine doses and risk wasting them, as global figures call for rich nations to airlift surplus vaccines. https://t.co/B5SYChefIN
