True change does not happen quickly.
The causes that matter most demand time, faith, and patience.
For nearly four decades, Rotarians across the world have fought polio often without applause, often without immediate results.
Today, polio remains in only two countries.
This is not failure.
This is courage.
This is commitment.
Every drop administered, every mile travelled, every volunteer effort mattered.
Patience kept the mission alive when the finish line felt far away.
When service comes from the heart, time cannot defeat it.
Patience becomes our strength, and hope becomes our guide.
Let us stay patient.
Let us stay united.
The world is closer to victory because we did not give up.
Service Above Self.
