My employer, NASCO decided to help by coordinating with ShelterBox.Org. Because one of the immediate and greatest needs is shelter, this campaign is vital for the Haitian people. ShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity that delivers emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people affected by disasters worldwide.
Each 49 gallon ShelterBox contains the following items:
• One ten-person tent, including two fabric interior privacy partitions, outer fly-sheet and repair kit.
• Vinyl insulated sleeping mats and lightweight thermal blankets. The blanket can also be fashioned to catch water, as a tarp, etc. while the mat also serves as a ground ‘table’ for meals, or tent rugs.
• One pack of 180 water purification tablets or a water purification kit; and one 5 gallon flat-pack water container (Each tablet will purify a full container of water providing 1,800 gallons of clean drinking water which should be sufficient for a family of ten for up to three months).
• Two 2.1 gallon, collapsible, plastic water carriers.
• One collapsible trenching shovel
• Rope, 164 foot
• Repellant-treated mosquito netting
• Ten PVC Ponchos/ ten HD plastic bags
• Tool kit in canvas bag: hatchet, jack-knife, screwdriver, hammer, hoe head etc.
• Multi-fueled cook stove
• Eating utensils: enamel plates/cups
• Children's activity kit-simple school supplies, stickers and coloring book
As you can see each box contains many useful tools and materials that are helpful for getting a family back on their feet. The cost of one box is $1000.00.
You may donate directly as an individual by accessing the ShelterBox website listed below. Please note also that all Haiti contributions will be tax deductible for 2009 filing.
