Crocus Planting in Bantock Park- End Polio Now!

Posted on by
Another 10,000 crocus corms planted today in Bantock Park Wolverhampton, to add to the 40,000 from previous years to help raise public awareness of Rotary’s campaign to eliminate the scourge of polio from the world. When we started the campaign over 30 years ago there were 1000 new cases everyday, somewhere in the world. This year to date, there have been just 25 – confined to 6 in Pakistan and 19 in Afghanistan.
We will beat this horrible disease!!

This morning the Wolverhampton Rotarians were supported by The City of Wolverhampton Park Rangers, Eastfield Primary School and the Bantock Park Users Group. Our thanks to them all.
