We are ‘this close’ to ending Polio

 “Our Rotary Day turned out to be mind boggling with close to two thousand people gathered at the University of Nairobi and making a procession through the Nairobi central business district. 

President Elect Nana Wanjau with District Governor Bimal Kantaria

Having set the stage two weeks prior to the event was very thoughtful of our Rotaractors. Rotaract skaters went through all our major roads which culminated with flash mob in the center of Nairobi town attracting hundreds of pedestrians and motorists- literary closing down business for seven minutes left the city yearning for more! 

What I call a sea of Red overwhelmed the busy town led by an army band. Other towns that held the Walk against polio include Kisumu city, Mombasa, Malindi, Meru& Naivasha. 

Having received coverage in major print, audio and visual media was phenomenal! Our social media team did a splendid job too.

There is no better way to add our voice into the Rotary’s long term project than to let the world now that we have been at it for decades, we are still doing something about it and now we are “this close” to ending polio!!” DG magazine

Polio still cripples thousands of children around

the world. With your help, we can wipe this

disease off face of the earth forever.

I always look forward to our club meetings not because it’s another day away from my daily routine but having the chance to serve the community. “We are the coolest club in the club”.

President Elect Nana Wanjau &
Jeff Koinange

Our guest speaker Jeff Koinange shared more on what inspired him to write his book – Through my African Eyes.  For a gentleman who smiles a lot and always stops to say hi back to people, you wouldn’t think that his job required so much commitment and risks. 

The meeting begun in time and was well attended by Rotarians around Nairobi, taking front seats just to pay close attention to what Jeff had to share. 

After a short interview session on what led him to write his book, Jeff eventually got up a read his favorite chapter from an experience he had back in Nigeria. 

 Telling the story like it happened a day before, the audience laughed, sighed and maintained pin drop silence each time he went back to read a line

Two hours later into the story telling, the moment everyone was waiting for came to be. After I gave the vote of thanks we proceeded to the book signing where I had a book signed for my sons.
