This year as we approach 'World Polio Day' we are facing additional challenges. There is fighting, destruction and lives
being lost in and around the world on a daily basis...
The ongoing crisis in Gaza has contributed to reduced routine
immunization rates and increased risk of vaccine preventable
diseases, including polio. The crisis also poses a significant
challenge to fully implementing disease surveillance and vaccination campaigns.
The number of polio cases are increasing in Afghanistan and
Pakistan. In late July, the detection of variant poliovirus type
2-in environmental samples and the confirmation a 10-month
-old child who has contracted polio in Gaza is a reminder to
us that as long as polio exists anywhere, it is a threat everywhere.
As a side note from your RCOH Admin - I would love to see each of us contribute at least $25 to help bring the numbers back down! We are SO close to the eradication of Polio!

Hawaii Innocence Project and other Significant Cases
The Hawai‘i Innocence Project (HIP), founded in 2005 at the William S. Richardson School of Law, fights for the freedom of those who have been wrongfully convicted and advocates for the prevention of future injustice. HIP is a law clinic and nonprofit with a mission to free prisoners who are factually innocent but who have been wrongfully convicted. Through the work of volunteers, attorneys, and law students, HIP strives to not only exonerate the innocent but to also reform the justice system to prevent innocent people from being convicted of crimes they didn’t commit.
HIP is a member of the Innocence Network, a collection of organizations across the nation which have joined the movement for justice and freedom. For more information about HIP, visit hawaiiinnocenceproject.org.
