The eradication of Polio around the world is largely because of the efforts of volunteers like Past President 2001-02 Eva Hammond.  This photo is Eva explaining how you can tell when a child has had their first dose of the vaccine because of their painted fingernail (more recently a “purple pinky”). Read more about Eva's story below.
The Rotary Club of Ottawa has a long history of welcoming exchange students to Ottawa.  As we prepare to welcome students to stay with three families in 2022 – 2023, it’s time to catch up on what’s been happening with students we hosted in past exchanges.  It’s also time to appreciate the excitement felt by our present group of Ottawa students preparing to head out in the coming school year to adventures and an immersive learning situation abroad.
