Mother's Day is the best time when we honor our mothers. Throughout the world, it is
celebrated regularly on the 2ND Sunday in May, but other nations mark the occasion on
numerous dates. Mother's Day celebrations can consist of gifts, meals and love ones gathering
to say thank you for all she has done for them. Here is one story that somehow happened or may
happen to you:
A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two
hundred miles away.
As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing.
He asked her what was wrong and she replied, "I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother.
But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars."
The man smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose."
He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's flowers.
As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home.
She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother."
She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.
The man returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove
the two hundred miles to his mother's house.
Always treasure are moments with our mothers. Happy Mother’s day to all.

Helping children with disabilities in Belize
By Arnold R. Grahl
Rotarians in District 6510 (Illinois, USA) have helped hundreds of children from Belize to receive
orthopedic care through a program now in its fourth decade.
The Belize Children’s Program was established shortly after Eugene Verdu, a member of the Rotary
Club of Belleville, went to the country as a papal volunteer with the Catholic church in 1976 and was
struck by the number of children needing orthopedic care and the lack of available treatment.
Verdu made arrangements to bring a few of the children to the United States for care. District leaders
heard about his efforts and approached the Shriners Hospital for Children in St. Louis, Missouri, to
establish a program and help more children.
After sending a doctor to Belize to assess the situation, hospital administrators agreed to provide free
care on the condition that the Rotarians make all the travel arrangements, fill out the necessary
paperwork, find host families during the kids’ stay in the United States, and assume power of attorney
for the children, whose parents could not afford to leave their jobs in Belize.
"That last requirement almost killed the program in the crib," recalls Don Barlow, a member of the
Belleville club who agreed to take on power of attorney and later became the nonprofit organization's
vice president when it incorporated 15 years later. Shriners had performed six operations on Barlow's
leg when he was a child, so he was eager to help. The organization sends a doctor to Belize every
year to hold clinics to identify new patients and monitor those already in the program. In addition to the
more than 300 who have been helped by the nonprofit, another 300 to 400 children have received care
from other agencies as a result of being diagnosed.
The program has a working relationship with Help the Children, which takes some of the nonorthopedic
cases, and the International Hospital for Children, which is in the process of setting up its own
orthopedic clinic in Belize. The Belleville club gives $1,000 a year to the program, and the Rotary Club
of Belmopan, Belize, helps run the clinics and contributes to the airfare. Barlow has spoken to
hundreds of clubs to raise funds and find host families.
“It’s always a grind finding host families,” he admits. But the success stories are worth it. He recalls one
boy who underwent multiple operations to straighten an extreme case of bowed legs, making him
inches taller.
“When the child’s mother was in the Belize City airport, she did not recognize her son,” he says. “When
she did, she wept almost hysterically.” Another early patient was able to walk normally after treatment
for double clubfoot, and another ended up playing baseball in Belize eight years after recovering from a
bad case of scoliosis.
Barlow says the program is an example of what any Rotary club can accomplish with determination
and perseverance.
“We are not a big district,” he says. “And there have been times we could have held our committee
meeting in a phone booth. But if you really, truly believe in a good cause, and you stick with it and get
established, you can do just about anything.”
