As reported in the Herald:

The trip was initiated by members of the Rotary Club to continue support of the major world project of Rotary International —eliminating polio from the world. They raised funds to support the “Immunization Days,” and helped pay some of the costs of travel.

The volunteers also visited a hospital for those suffering from polio, schools, temples, mosques, the headquarters of the Indian World Health Organization, and Rotary Clubs in India.

For her dedication in continuing the efforts of the campaign “End Polio Now” Kesti has been named the Polio Chair for Rotary International District 6990, which includes South Florida and Grand Bahama Island.

Congratulations Palmetto Bay resident Maria Kesti!
