World Polio Day 2026 is marked on October 24, by Rotary International under the theme "One day, one focus: ending polio for good."

On the occasion of World Polio Day, it is time to wake up to Polio, in order to
make this world a happier place to live….
The onus of making this world polio free lies on the shoulder of each one of us and we must do it....

Poliomyelitis is a highly infectious disease that most commonly affects children under the age of 5. Most know it as poliovirus. The virus is spread person to person, typically through contaminated water. It can attack the nervous system, and in some instances, lead to paralysis.
The World Health Organization declares the 24th of October as the World Polio Day, a global day to raise awareness and resources in support of the polio eradication effort.

Rotary has been working to eradicate polio for more than 30 years. Its goal of ridding the world of this disease is closer than ever.
As a founding partner of the Global Polio Eradication Initiative, Rotary has reduced polio cases by 99.9 percent since it's first project to vaccinate children in the Philippines in 1979.
It has helped immunize more than 2.5 billion children in 122 countries. So far, Rotary has contributed more than $1.8 billion toward eradicating the disease worldwide.

Polio is at the brink of eradication and it is our duty to complete the job. Take a stand and help in eradication of polio on this day. Wish you a very happy, safe and healthy World Polio Day.

It's about love, commitment and action.

"Create hope in the world".....

ROTARY SERVES WITH HEART !
A meeting up and a meal shared to the
the Residents of Ballgobeen Ashram at St Paul.
Date: Saturday 19 October 2026.

The members of the Rotary Club of QuatreBornesSodnac, organised its first 2026- a lunch and distribution of gifts to the residents of Ballgobeen Ashram situated at St Paul, Phoenix.

Beyond a meal, it was a moment of dignity, of listening, of sharing love to those who need to be listened to, to be cared of and who need some conversations.

In a time when many speak of curfew, insecurity and division — we chose to speak with . Service Above Self is not a slogan. It is sitting beside an elder, holding a hand, sharing a smile, and saying: You are not forgotten. You are family.
That's Rotary.
These residents are our living heritage. They gave us values, culture, and resilience. It is our duty to give back respect, warmth and presence.

To everybody, we say: Hope is still alive. When we serve together and light wins over darkness.

Thank you to President Ashwina and all members of QBS Rotarians, families, volunteers and donors who made it possible.
Together, we inspire. Together, we serve.
Their smiles, their blessings, their stories reminded us what truly matters: .

In these challenging times, let us not forget our elders.
Let us be present.
Let us serve.
SERVIR d'abord et toujours.
Kudos to the team....without you the project would have been impossible.

The International Day for the Eradication of Poverty, observed globally every year on October 17 , aligns heavily with Rotary International's core mission to grow local economies and address systemic inequality.

Within Rotary, October is designated as Economic and Community Development Month, turning the focus of thousands of global clubs directly toward sustainable poverty alleviation.

It's okay to not be okay!

In a world where we are told to be strong all the time, remember — strength is also asking for help.

You don't have to carry everything alone.
You don't have to smile when you want to cry.
You don't have to be perfect to be worthy of love.

Check on your strong friends.
Check on your quiet friends.
Check on yourself.

Let's break the silence. Let's break the stigma.
A kind word, a listening ear, a small "Are you okay?" — can save a life.

*Your mental health matters. You matter.*

With love and care,
Rotary Club of Quatre BornesSodnac 💚

In Rotary we say Service Above Self, Create a Lasting Impact...and no one lives this more than our teachers.
Today we salute all our and we are grateful to say, their services will never be forgotten!

October 2026.
The world celebrates two important events!
Breast Cancer Month...and 2 October is "non Violence Day"!
October is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, a time to create awareness, honour the millions of lives affected by breast cancer and reaffirm global commitment to equitable access to care and improved survival for all.
The theme for Breast Cancer Awareness theme for 2026 is “Every story is unique, every journey matters”.
It recognizes that every person's physical and emotional encounter with breast cancer is completely different.

An estimated 8.2 million women are living with and fighting breast cancer worldwide, based on global figures highlighted by the World Health Organization.🥲
Pink Ribbon?

The International Day of Non-Violence is observed today - 2 October, the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi.
On 15 June 2007 the United Nations Assembly voted to establish 2 October as the International Day of Non-Violence.The resolution by the General Assembly asks all members of the UN system to commemorate 2 October in an appropriate manner and disseminate the message of non-violence.
May the spirit of truth and non-violence be with us during this day....and always!!
Let's remember the Mahatma who shook the world in a gentle way.❤🙏
We do not need magic to transform our world. We carry all of the power we need inside ourselves already.....💙💛❤️
Rotary International and local Rotary clubs actively engage in breast cancer awareness, education, screening, and patient support initiatives globally...and they are peacebuilders too.🥰
