Entry 1 of a trip titled: Rotary ShelterBox Deployment in Nepal
After completing my nine day ShelterBox Response Team (SRT) training at ShelterBox HQ in Helston, Cornwell UK in July 2008, I accepted an offer to join a deployment team to Nepal the following August. The south east region was devastated by floods when the Koshi river burst it's dyke and left some 40000 people without their homes and most of their possessions including their animals.
The ShelterBoxes that were deployed contains most of the needs that are required for a family of up to ten to be able to survive while rebuilding their homes. The contents include a tent, thermal mats and blankets, cooking and eating utensils, water purification tablets and water containers, tools etc.
SHELTERBOX, THE NEED EXISTS - THE NEED PERSISTS.
