A public awareness and fundraising initiative that engaged the community to promote the "End Polio Now" mission through the distribution and sale of Rotary polio stamps.
COMMUNITY SERVICE
"Polio Stamps 2.0 was organised by the Rotaract Club of Bangalore Jayanagar on 28th March near Lalbagh Metro Station, with the objective of promoting awareness about polio eradication and supporting the End Polio Now initiative by Rotary International. The initiative aimed to engage with the public directly, spreading awareness about the importance of polio vaccination while also highlighting the role of Rotary and Rotaract in this global mission.
Volunteers actively approached the public, distributed Rotary polio stamps, and explained the significance of timely vaccination and continued efforts toward a polio-free world. Through these interactions, members were able to create meaningful conversations around public health and educate people about the ongoing initiatives taken by Rotary and Rotaract. Along with awareness, stamps were also sold, through which the club generated a profit of ₹300.
The initiative served as an effective public image activity, allowing the club to connect with the community while spreading awareness about an important global cause. It also helped strengthen the visibility of Rotaract and its involvement in impactful service initiatives.
Overall, Polio Stamps 2.0 was a simple yet impactful effort that combined awareness, engagement, and action, reflecting the commitment of the Rotaract Club of Bangalore Jayanagar towards public health and community service."
