every last child

Written By IreneSofia

Although Polio has been eradicated in most of the world, transmission of this virus still exists today in Pakistan, Afghanistan and Nigeria. As long as a single child remains infected with poliovirus, children in all countries are at risk of contracting the disease.

There is no cure for polio, it can only be prevented. Polio vaccine, given multiple times, can protect a child for life.

The Global Polio Eradication Initiative is a public-private partnership led by national governments with six partners – the World Health Organization (WHO), Rotary International, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF), Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation and Gavi, the vaccine alliance. Its goal is to eradicate polio worldwide.

IreneSofia is a self-taught graphic artist.

She is passionate about using conceptual self-portraiture as medicine to go deep into her belief systems and release those those which no longer serve her. Thus, to live in the joy of being alive!

Through this exploratory process, she realized that, although she’s lived with a physical handicap almost her entire life, she has always been a dancer. Her Dancer Series is a result of this work. Trained in the Nia Technique she is now an avid dancer, dancing through life with her husband in their passive solar home in the Sonoran/Chihauhuan desert of southeastern Arizona.
