Hi Elsa,
Thank you so much for the HUGE drive behind ShelterBox.
As a member of the team that accompanies the boxes into the field, I'm stunned and moved by your readers' generosity.
I see that there were some questions in the comments that I can address, like whether or not the boxes will go directly to Haiti when you donate; and I just wanted to let yo know that I'm happy to do an interview with you, or a Q&A, if you'd like.
We're all on standby to go to Haiti. After this morning's 6.1 magnitude aftershock, I know our team are all alive and okay. Right now 12 of our boxes are being used as a field hospital, and hundreds more are already on the ground, with a thousand or more set to arrive over the next few days. We've committed over 3000 boxes to Haiti and the team has been told that we are on standby until April 30 at least.
Just thought I'd drop a line. 77 boxes is huge. Really, thank you.
Cheers,
Yi Sh**
yes many more people could be help than we know.
One ShelterBox Supports Ten? A myth (1+ / 0-)
S-Box can customize the contents to meet the anticipated needs in a disaster area. Two tents/box? Can do! The default items in the image shows service for five. Three each of bowl/cups. That will provide fifteen people with a container for food or water. You have a stove? I'll give you ten kilos of rice if you share it... etc.
One Box will support ten families, more?
Logistics are still difficult. It was said that the US was giving Military flights priority over Humanitarian landings at Toussaint Louverture International Airport.
ShelterBox is building a Tent Hospital !
