In response to the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that devastated Sulawesi in Indonesia on the 28th of September, the Club made a donation to ShelterBox. ShelterBox and Rotary International are project partners in disaster relief and the Club believes that supporting ShelterBox this is the best way to support international relief efforts and ensure that the money addresses real needs and is not lost in the overheads of NGO’s. The donation bought a sturdy green ShelterBox with hardwearing tools and equipment that provided the basis for a family in the aftermath of such disasters.
The ShelterBox team in Indonesia are working with the national disaster management authority and Rotary contacts to support families in the area affected. Attached is an update from ShelterBox and a link to their Facebook page. There is also an informative video www.facebook.com/ShelterBox
