Did you know that you could send relief in the form of a box of shelter?
YES, Shelterbox.com is an international disaster relief charity that delivers emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people affected by disaster worldwide.
Shelter Boxes are green plastic units that are similiar in size and shape to the large plastic storage containers that many people keep Christmas decorations in, only sturdier.
A bigger difference is what’s inside. Each shelter box contains enough supplies for an extended family of up to 10 people with a tent and essential equipment to use while they are displaced or homeless.
Inside every Shelter Box is a ten-person tent. It’s sturdy, made to withstand extreme temperatures, high winds and rain. It even has privacy partitions to allow the inside space to be divided.
For the kids, each Shelter Box also contains coloring books, crayons and pens.
Also included are essentials, blankets, insulated ground sheets, mosquito nets (where needed), a tool kit (hammer, axe, saw, shovel, hoe head, pliers and wire cutters). There’s even a small wood burning or multi-fuel stove as well as pans, utensils, bowls mugs and storage containers. Plus the Shelter Box itself is reusable from storage to seating to a baby bed.

Great information, Thank you so much
Hey, this is a very nice blog! It seems you are doing well in the alexa rankings. If you can please help me jump in the rankings as well by checking out my site at http://www.publicdomainpayday.com thank you so much for your time and I will check back on here when I get a chance!
I have adopted three rescue dogs that were deserted by their preceding owners. They are the loveliest creatures I have ever experienced. It is atrocious how some people treat animals like belongings or worse. My hope is that more people will get enlightened about this matter.
Everytime I log onto this blog another person has commented a load of tripe (RUBBISH). When will we ever get any decent intelligent information / comments?
That seems a strange thing to say…
I hear you! I have FIVE big dogs myself right now plus I keep food in the car for strays I see along the way…. so sad.
I just had to say.. I think you have a wonderful website. Its obvious that your adicted to dogs.. just like me.
Hello – I must say, I’m impressed with your site. I had no trouble navigating through all the tabs and information was very easy to access. I found what I wanted in no time at all. Pretty awesome. Would appreciate it if you add forums or something, it would be a perfect way for your clients to interact. Great job
