Ramesh Ferris was born in December 1979 in Coimbatore, located in the Southern State of Tamil Nadu, India. He contracted polio at age six months and his legs were left paralyzed for life. With no means or access to rehabilitation for him, Ramesh’s mother placed him in Families for Children, a Canadian-founded orphanage, a year later. Ramesh looks forward to talking with you and sharing his personal journey of surviving polio and invites you to join in the efforts of making our global community polio free! Ramesh is a Rotarian and is a member of the Rotary Club of Whitehorse Rendezvous , Yukon Canada.
