Shelterboxes for Nepal

Representatives of the clubs met at Broughty Castle on Saturday to finalise their commitment to the cause.
Dundee despatched three shelterboxes, £1,200 to aquabox and £250 to the Elgin Nepal Appeal.
Claverhouse’s contibution was £500 to World Water Works to fund the shipment of waterboxes to the various disaster areas.
Abertay sent seven shelterboxes with a further £1,100 to be allocated, and Monifieth and Discovery each sent two shelterboxes and two aquaboxes.
David Laing of the Rotary Club of Dundee, said: "We wanted to express our concern through shelterboxes to those who have faced such devastation."
Donald MacKerron of Monifieth Rotary said: "There is always an emergency somewhere in the world, and the Rotary clubs contribute to having shelterboxes on standby to send to where they are needed."
