Popular Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele a.k.a. Jenifa has joined
the league of renowned humanitarians, who are passionate about
total eradication of childhood polio in the world. Funke who was full
of joy recently when she was appointed as an ambassador to
participate in Rotary’s ‘This Close’, a public awareness campaign for
polio eradication, is happy for being part of the team. We leant she
will be unveiled to the media on Tuesday 24th October 2013 as part of
the activities lined up to mark the world polio day.
The chairman of Microsoft, Mr. Bill Gate who launched Bill and
Melinda Gates Foundation and has dedicated most of his time for this
great cause, we learnt, is happy about the charitable disposition of
people who are committed to improving the lives of other people as
Funke has well displayed. In the “This Close” campaign, she will
raise her thumb and fore finger in the ad tagline “We’re this close to
ending polio”
Rotary has formed an alliance with the likes of Bill Gates, Nobel
Peace laureate Archbishop Emeritus Desmond Tutu, action movie star
Jackie Chan and Pop star PSY to fight the childhood polio surge.
Funke said in her statement, “I feel so honored to be part of a
charitable cause like this. I accepted this appointment because
polio kills or paralyzes children and Rotary is committed to ending
this terrible disease worldwide. I also learned that the world has
never been so close to eradication of polio since the mid 80’s
thanks to the vigorous efforts of Rotary International and its
partners.”
