Posted by Greg Krauska

Nepal has suffered devastating losses due to the earthquake on April 25. ShelterBox which provides needed essentials to disaster survivors – shelter, tools, water purification systems, blankets, mosquito netting, solar lights and more – is in Nepal to help people get back on their feet.

If your club wants to help, please contact Greg Krauska, ShelterBox Ambassador at 612-801-7821 or gkrauska@hotmail.com. If friends and family would like to help, direct them to www.shelterboxusa.org. Ask them to mention your Rotary club to give you credit towards your ShelterBox Hero recognition!

Starting May 1, the Latika & Rajiv Jain Charitable Foundation will match the first $100,000 in donations to ShelterBox if you send it in using this form.

A ShelterBox Response Team arrived on Sunday to assess needs and begin distribution of ShelterBoxes, tents and Shelter Kits that were prepositioned in Nepal. Another ShelterBox team is arriving on Monday, with more teams to follow as the need is established and additional ShelterBox aid can be transported into the country.

The force of the earthquake was 16 times that of the earthquake that struck Haiti in 2010.

Thank you for your support of ShelterBox throughout the year, and especially, at times like these when your help is needed most.
