Dear Rotary President More than 1.7 million people have been affected in Nepal and over 8 million in Bangladesh. The monsoon rains in Bangladesh have been some of the worst to hit the country in four decades, with 1/3 of the country experiencing flooding. Will you help us provide shelter for families whose hopes and homes have been washed away? ShelterBox currently has teams on the ground in Nepal and Bangladesh working with local organisations and Rotary Clubs to assess how we can support families.  Just $50 could buy a water filter to provide a family with safe drinking water.  $100 could pay for a ShelterKit to repair damaged homes or build an emergency shelter. Disasters don't stop. Neither do we. Hurricane Irma is causing chaos in the Caribbean as we standby to help in Haiti, Cuba and other affected islands. ShelterBox currently has nine active deployments and we need your support. Category 5 Hurricane Irma is currently barrelling through the Caribbean with sustained wind speeds of 300 km/h. We are sending out a highly-trained ShelterBox Response Team today to understand how we can help families who have lost everything. The Dominican Republic, Haiti, Cuba and Florida are still in the potential path of this ferocious storm. But it's not just these countries who have been affected by adverse weather - the last two weeks have brought devastating flooding around the world. More than 1.7 million people have been affected in Nepal, while a third of Bangladesh is under water. Huge areas of India and Myanmar are also in need of support. Help us build a world where no family goes without shelter. Will you support us today?  VIDEO UPDATE
