11. ShelterBox Supporters in or near Adelaide
Quote from the article in the District Dispatch from ShelterBox Trust.
"We’ve now helped provide shelter for more than 67,000 people in Nepal since last year. However, our work never stops. Disasters and conflict around the world mean that there are families in need of shelter 365 days a year. In Ecuador, communities have been devastated by another 7.8 magnitude earthquake – one measuring exactly the same strength as the deadly quake in Nepal"
Here is the link to the latest news story, which is about the anniversary of the Nepal earthquake and focuses on one of the people we were able to help:
