Rotarians all over the world are united in “Service Above Self” to bring about world peace, through world understanding, through Rotary’s many scholarship and cultural education programs. Rotary’s goal of bringing better health, clean water and humanity to the underprivileged corners of the world, has resulted in virtually wiping out the scourge of polio.
