Shelter Box Canada

At its May meeting the Club's Board of Directors approved a $1,200 donation to Shelterbox Canada.  This is in response to the recent disasters in Burma, China and in Equador. These disasters caused many thousands of people to become homeless and without basic shelter and survival equipment. This donation will provide a dry shelter, warm bed, light and heat, clean water, cooking aids and tools for 10 people.

The Shelter Box Trust was established by the Rotary Club of Helston-Lizard, England. Boxes are pre-packed and warehoused in the UK ready for shipping.

Cost for each box is only $1,200.00 Canadian and is Tax Deductible.Go to http://www.shelterbox.ca/ for more information and to provide a donation toward a Shelterbox.

The Shelterbox Canada project is administered by volunteer members of the Rotary Club of Ladysmith, British Columbia.
