Life in the 1500's

The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how

you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500s:

These are interesting...

Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, and still smelled pretty

good by June. However, they were starting to smell, so brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the

body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married.

Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice

clean water, then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children Last of all

the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying,

"Don't throw the baby out with the bath water."

Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for

animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it

rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and off the roof. Hence the saying

"It's raining cats and dogs."

Polio vaccinators make significant headway in Nigeria

Nigeria is closer than ever to eradicating polio, riding a successful effort to reach children in

seven northern states at highest risk for the disease.

"Rotarians have gone into remote areas of the country by car, canoe, motorbike, and even on

foot to ensure every child gets the vaccine," says Rotary's Nigeria PolioPlus Committee Chair

Tunji Funsho.

In Katsina state, members of the Nigeria PolioPlus Committee (NPPC) recently met with

leaders of two communities notoriously opposed to immunization, mainly on religious grounds

and in protest of the lack of basic health care. They persuaded the leaders to endorse

vaccination by obtaining government assurance that mobile health camps would provide free

checkups, medications, immunization against diseases besides polio, and other services.

"It was very encouraging to see the positive impact of engaging these leaders . . . witnessed by

the huge turnout of crowds at the health camps and women willingly presenting their children

for vaccination in households, quranic schools, and other locations," reports the NPPC. "The

camps are one of the proven 'quick wins' to untie the knots of persistent noncompliance in some

settlements across the high-risk states."

Along with Pakistan and Afghanistan, Nigeria has never stopped transmission of the wild

poliovirus. However, it has recorded only three polio cases so far this year (as of 3 June), down

from 24 cases for the same period in 2013.

In high-risk states like Katsina, "the mere participation of community leaders, allowing their

own children to be vaccinated or pronouncing the acceptance of OPV [oral polio vaccine] is

enough to encourage community members to allow the vaccination teams into their homes,"

says Funsho.

Rotary field coordinators are helping close immunization gaps in northern Nigeria by gaining

public support from government and community leaders through providing technical support,

and monitoring the quality of vaccination teams.

During the "mop

up" phase of an

immunization

campaign,

vaccinators in

Maiduguri,

Nigeria, look for

children who

were previously

missed.
