April 9 our program was a ShelterBox Update zoomed by our District Ambassadors Bill Tuszynski and Henry Tur. The program went exceptionally well. They highlighted how ShelterBox is continuously adapting to the needs of people everywhere.
There is now a Tool Kit which allows people to stay in their houses while repairing damages to existing structures. A new development has been a SB School Kit which addresses the basic educational needs of children adversely impacted by the disasters around the world.
The latest COVID19 situation has created exceptional challenges in relief camps where “social distancing” takes on a whole new meaning.
We tend to think of ShelterBox providing relief in areas impacted by natural disasters. Unfortunately, they pointed out the Top 5 areas SB is currently servicing are all conflict zones of varying degrees.
Make a note on your calendars for September 12, 2020 when our Ambassadors will once again conduct a ShelterBox fundraiser at Putt U in Center Valley. Come out and have some fun for a great cause.
Note of interest: District 7430 is the #1 ShelterBox supporting district in the USA.
