Shelter box

Dear Mr Woodcock,

A sturdy green ShelterBox. hardwearing tools and equipment. The practical basics a family needs in the aftermath of disaster or conflict. It’s astonishing what your generous donation of £600.00 can provide.

Crucially, by fundraising for ShelterBox, you’ve allowed us to hand-deliver more than just simple items – together you’ve given vulnerable families around the world the power to transform despair into hope. More than solar lights, thermal blankets and cooking utensils –you’ve helped entire communities in desperate need begin the process of rebuilding not just their homes, but their lives too.

Thanks to your support we have teams in Indonesia delivering aid to many families in Lombok and Sulawesi, working closely with Rotary partners and local government. We are also continuing our responses to Typhoon Mangkhut that devastated the Philippines, the flooding crisis in Kenya, and to the ongoing conflicts in the Lake Chad Basin and Syria.

If you haven’t already, why not tune in to watch ShelterBox live on Facebook? A member of the Operations Team will brief you on these disasters and all our other current deployments. There’s time too for your questions – so you can post a comment on behalf of your Rotary Club and we’ll answer it there and then if we can! Watch live on Tuesdays at 2:30pm, or catch up at any time on our Facebook page:www.facebook.com/ShelterBox.

Please pass on our thanks to everyone at The  Rotary Club of Stainborough for their amazing continued support. Their generosity means we can keep doing what we do best. We’re determined, and we won’t stop. Day after day, we’ll keep hammering pegs, tying knots and building shelter.

From all of us here at HQ, thank you for supporting ShelterBox.

Sophie on behalf of your Supporter Care Team
