Erin has a busy day ahead with the Caloundra Christian College next this morning.
90% of cases are in developing countries and the aim is to eliminate worldwide. 2006 Australian of the Year Professor Ian Frazer’s vaccine is now six years old. 320K have been vaccinated in the Asia Pacific Region.
National screening started in Australia in 1991, but there is still “work to do”. 200/year die in Australia whereas 130K are diagnosed with abnormal pap tests (not smears)
Her work includes talking to schools about HPV virus (which is not related to HIV or Herpes) but causes warts, is not just sexually transmitted, can also cause problems with males and is very contagious. The vaccine is for four strains only.

They are starting in PNG with Rotary help. Ian Frazer is currently in Nepal where 31K girls have been vaccinated. The vaccine costs $450 for three shots but is discounted to $20 - $50 in developing countries. The vaccine works best at a young age where the immune response is better. Screening is still the best protection for older women.
It took four years to get started in the Solomons. Screening difficulties have been improved with better equipment, and new technology such as the mobile colposcope costs only $2,000.
Next Wednesday off to Kiribati via Nandi in Fiji with 14 Somerville House students. Rotary Global Grant is worth $150K
Deborah thanked Erin
Sergeant
Gerry thought it was a bit boring without being able to extort actual dollars. Please nobody suggest some other way of making life uncomfortable for ourselves at the hands of an over zealous Sergeant

What the?
Don't give the Sergeant any ideas

WHAT IS THE GOAL OF ROTARY FOUNDATION GRANTS?
“Doing good in the world.” This is achieved via three programs categories of The Rotary Foundation.
District Grants– allows up to 25% of funding given three years ago through Annual Fund – SHARE to do projects that fall within the mission. Almost any type of project can be done and local clubs work with their districts to figure out what projects and activities are nearest and dearest to their hearts.
Global Grants- funds sustainable and measurable scholarships, humanitarian grants and vocational training teams in the Rotary Foundation’s six areas of focus.
Packaged Grants- Fully funded projects done with strategic partners that allow Rotarians to work with experts in the six areas of focus, Multiplying the good work of our Foundation and creating relevant partnerships showing the world what Rotary can do and the power of teamwork.
AS A ROTARIAN, YOU ARE ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN ANY ONE OF THESE PROGRAMS. WHICH ONE INTERESTS YOU?
