Haiti earthquake

 

As soon as we heard the news we purchased 5 Shelterboxes which have been sent to Haiti. In addition our members helped other Southampton Rotarians collect £12100 over the weekends 23/24 and 30/30 January in the West Quay Shopping Centre in Southampton. All these funds have been used to purchase further Shelterboxes.

 

A shelter box contains equipment for 10 people

·                                 Mosquito nets

·                                 Waterproof ponchos

·                                 Waterproof groundmats

·                                 Children's activity pack

·                                 Durable plastic box

·                                 Collapsible water containers and water purifying equipment

·                                 Custom-designed tent

·                                 Thermal fleece blankets

·                                 Stove and cooking equipment

·                                 Toolkit
