About World Polio Day and Rotary International

The eradication of polio is one of Rotary International’s longest standing and most significant efforts. Along with our partners, we have helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children against polio in 122 countries, and have reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent worldwide.

In 1985, Rotary launched PolioPlus, the first and largest internationally coordinated private-sector support of a public health initiative, with an initial fundraising target of USD 120 million. Next, Rotary and the World Health Organization launched the Global Polio Eradication Initiative in 1988 when there were an estimated 350,000 cases of polio in 125 countries.

World Polio Day is on 24 October every year and Rotary activities are conducted in October to raise awareness of the importance of polio vaccinations to protect every child from this devastating disease, and to celebrate the many parents, professionals and volunteers whose contributions have made polio eradication achievable.

Please be invited to our club lunch meeting on 28 October where the Golf Organizing Committee is going to present the details of the 15^th Annual Charity Golf Classic, our major fundraising event of the year scheduled for 28 November. The committee will share information about the amateur tournament from the early planning stages and attracting sponsors and golfers, to the day of the tournament and follow-up duties afterward.

Every year we ask our members to help identify potential sponsors from businesses and philanthropic organizations, acquire vouchers for goods and services for the fundraising efforts during the evening’s gala dinner, and invite golfers to participate to help maximize the proceeds for our community service projects throughout the year. Last year we were able to provide a fully equipped ambulance that cost THB 2,500,000 for Hua Hin Hospital, and this year we are going to purchase much-needed anesthesia equipment costing THB 2,550,000 for the hospital.

Even if you cannot attend this lunch meeting, please reach out to your contacts soon to help add to the list of sponsors and vouchers, and invite golfing friends who would like to participate in the tournament.

Please be invited to the handover of one of our community service projects to promote education and literacy for the children at Ban Nern Phayom School on 24 November. In another international joint-project with the Rotary Club of Aireborough, we are going to deliver a set of 160 children’s books in Thai language to augment the school’s library. The books were selected by the academics of Chulalongkorn University to promote literacy, increase vocabulary, and reader comprehension.

The teacher Sirpapop stated, “Our children love reading illustrated storybooks and at school we have reading promotion activities where children write summaries of the books they have read.”

It is a government school for 130 children grades 1 to 8 with 11 teachers, and located in a remote, undeveloped region in the Nong Phlap subdistrict, about a 45-minute drive from Bluport Shopping Mall. There is no provincial electricity grid in the area but they do have intermittent solar power. The WIFI Internet connection is weak and often interrupted making online learning difficult. We are going to meet at Bluport parking garage at 10:00 and caravan to the school.

“Children’s books are a powerful tool enhancing the brain development of a young child, especially their all-important language skills. Stories not only bring happiness and enjoyment, but also add new words to a child’s vocabulary, help them develop and practice their comprehension, and lay the foundation for them to understand the concept of reading.” (UNICEF Thailand, 2024)

Register your name on CR as usual and be sure to view the map for the location and directions to the school. We hope to see you there to UNITE FOR GOOD in the spirit of Rotary!

Please be invited to our club lunch meeting on 25 November where we welcome guest speaker Dr. Antoinette van de Water, a Dutch conservationist who will speak about the research and development activities of the Bring The Elephant Home Foundation. During her talk, Antoinette will share how their community-driven approaches in Thailand, from fieldwork to science, are shaping new models of human–elephant coexistence.

In Thailand, the focus is on Kuiburi National Park, home to more than 300 wild elephants. Antoinette and her team collaborate with farmers and rangers on practical, nature-based solutions: studying elephant behavior, community engagement, planting elephant-friendly crops, and using beehive fences to reduce human-elephant conflicts. A flagship initiative is the Tom Yum Project, where farmers grow lemongrass, galangal, and chili peppers, crops elephants avoid, and turn them into sustainable, elephant-friendly products.

About the BTEH Foundation

Founded by Dr. Antoinette, the organization is a Dutch, Thai, and South African NGO, officially registered in Hua Hin and they have spent more than 20 years working in Asia and Africa to transform human–elephant conflict into coexistence.

Please be invited to the handover ceremony of new manikins for CPR training at Hua Hin Hospital on 27 November. Our club sponsored the purchase of 13 manikins to increase the hospital’s ability to conduct lifesaving CPR training for more local organizations as well as the groups of 50 children in our ongoing 3-day water safety and drowning prevention program. The hospital currently has 12 manikins and their medical professionals often teach in groups of 50 people, and our contribution brings it to 25 manikins in total, enabling two trainees per manikin.

The hospital’s aim is to be able to train more people faster by providing greater opportunity for hands-on practice on the manikins during the training sessions. The manikins are used for training basic life support skills, especially mouth-to-mouth resuscitation and chest compressions for adult and student trainees to acquire proper life-saving skills according to international standards.

For many years, the Rotary Club of Royal Hua Hin has conducted many meaningful service projects for the hospital and last year we purchased a new, fully equipped ambulance to provide state-of-the-art emergency service for our stakeholders. We look forward to continuing our relationship with the hospital for the health and well-being of our community.
