Rotarians from the United States and Sweden went to Nigeria in February-March 2013 to join with Nigerian Rotarians and local health workers in immunizing children ages 0-5 against polio. This is part of Rotary International’s commitment to END POLIO NOW. Beginning with the first administration of oral polio vaccine in 1979 to children in the Philippines, Rotary International has been an active participant in the Global Polio Eradication Initiative together with project partners World Health Organization, UNICEF, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control, and the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
We were in Nigeria for 11 days immunizing children during the National Immunization Days March 2-5, 2013, and visiting Rotary-sponsored projects in Rotary District 9140 in the central and southeast part of Nigeria.
Each day has a separate tab above.

Hello Paul,
God bless you for the help that you are giving to the kids of Nigeria. Polio Immunization is the only way we as Rotarians can totally wipe out polio. Be careful and safe and walk with God’s Grace.

Thanks to Carl, and the entire group for their tireless effort to make the ardous journey for sake of polio eradication in Nigeria. The hub of resistance is mostly in the North of the country. East and West of the country are more receptive. Safe return. If you can andhave time, there is a big Rotary
aided project 50-60 miles south of Enugu, my home in at MBALA ISUOCHI Abia State. Best.
Well done guys. Missed you this year lots
It is a great pride to join the team for the good cause to mankind. Our contribution towards our polio programme and the International Community justifies the Polio initiative. Keep the Rotary spirit burning.
Hi M.S. The Rotary spirit will always burn.
Lynn Clevenger-I would like to on the 2014 trip to stamp out polio whatever country is chosen
I traveled to Nigeria many years ago. I spent 2 week as a Flight Attendant flying bush tribal leaders on their return from Mecca. I am very versatile and want to help you in Nigeria. I want to be of service where it’s needed. I’m in good health, have traveled to many countries all over the world and have been in many different cultures. Also, I have traveled on 4 mission trips. I want to make a difference being a Rotarian.
Sincerely, Lynn Clevenger
