At our April 8th weekly meeting we had a virtual visit from Dani Bristow, Volunteer Program Coordinator for Shelter Box Canada. Shelter Box is a global charitable organization and a Rotary project partner since 2012. Our club has supported this organization including providing donations for the supply of 2 Shelter Boxes to Haiti following a disastrous 2010 earthquake.
By working together with Rotary they are able to collaborate and combine resources to ensure that they can support more communities in desperate need of shelter. Rotarians and Rotary groups across the world support them in a variety of ways, from raising funds to providing support on the ground during our response to a disaster. This enables them to cross boundaries and work together to reach even the most remote communities. This personal, community connection helps them to provide just the right support to enable people to lead in their own recovery – to make sure that our work together has a lasting impact.
