Rotary District 5000 update on Fiji Disaster Relief

Posted

A ShelterBox Response team of volunteers started delivering aid 2 days after the devastating cyclone. 90% of structures have been wiped out and almost 200,000 Fijians are homeless. The Rotary Club of Hilo is asking fellow Rotary clubs to help now by donating monies to ShelterBox USA. 
 
2,000 more ShelterBoxes have been requested. This donation will give families in Fiji a ShelterBox filled with lifesaving supplies including a tent that can withstand 120mph winds, water purification for 3 years, light, stove, dishes, blankets, kids pack, mosquito netting and tools for rebuilding. More information on what is in each ShelterBox can be found at www.shelterboxusa.org.
 
Each ShelterBox costs $1,000 which includes contents, shipping and delivery. Whatever your club can donate will go towards Fiji. The Rotary Club of Hilo has raised $30,000, which could give 30 families shelter, warmth and dignity. How many families can your club help?
