Following are some of the comments we have received. Would you please send us your comments?
I had no idea that a virus/phage had the capacity to attack/destroy harmful bacteria. Also powerful to know phages are part of power of evolution from day#1.

Al Jacobs Being thankful. The reminder to be grateful and more so to share this gratitude with others repeatedly is one way to lift one's own spirits and create positive attitudes not only for one's self but for others is very powerful and true.
In that vein, I want to thank all in the Rotary E-Club of Canada One for their friendship and participation to help make this club the success that it is and to continue to give a hand up to others less fortunate in the world struggling to make a difference in their communities.
Lynne Ternosky, Rotary District 6330 Passport Club, Ontario
Read, listened to, and watched this week's meeting together with Ramiro on our patio, listening to the crashing waves and sipping from a glass of wine. What a way to attend a Rotary meeting. What would Paul Harris's reaction be?

Rotary peace fellow helps refugees fleeing Myanmar
Since August 2017, nearly a million Rohingya Muslim refugees have crowded into the Cox's Bazar region of Bangladesh, fleeing violence in Myanmar's Rakhine state.
Women and children face particularly difficult challenges in the massive refugee camps, including lack of adequate shelter, health care, and educational resources, and an increased risk of sexual violence.
