A good work done for the benefit of others, without expecting anything in return, rarely goes unnoticed. And if the volume and magnitude of the work is very high, then it earns rich accolades as well. Martha Dodray, 40, working in a primary health centre in Bihar’s Darbhanga district walked several miles daily to reach the remotest villages to administer polio vaccination to children, mostly belonging to the poorest of families. Martha has ensured that no child suffers from Polio in these villages. Polio eradication is a worldwide movement, and it is people like her who make it successful in true sense. No wonder, she has been already honored with the United Nations Foundation award and is now being selected for the United Florence Nightingale award 2014. It is very humbling to know that several hundred children can walk and run freely today because someone, absolutely unrelated to them, has tirelessly walked miles for them… We salute Martha Dodray… a real life hero.
