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
