Following a presentation from Christopher Loat, Shelter Box Ambassador and member of West Vancouver's Sunshine Rotary Club, the Rotary Club of Tsawwassen is proud to have donated $2,000 to ShelterBox. This will fund the purchase of another two boxes.
The ShelterBox program provides temporary shelter and lifesaving supplies to those who have been displaced by natural or man-made disasters. Each ShelterBox contains a tent with a one-piece flysheet and dome, a water purification kit, solar lighting, a tool kit and blankets. It even contains a children's activity kit to help them also deal with the trauma. Currently, ShelterBoxes are in place in ten different countries. In 2012, ShelterBox became Rotary International's first project partner. This enables both organizations to collaborate more closely to bring relief to survivors of disasters worldwide.
