Shelter Box Happenings
Posted

There is a regular news letter available from the Shelter Box Team. Below is the intro to their Australia eNewsletter of September 2012.
This is a wonderful world wide Rotary initiative where the concept is to parcel essential equipment (eg tent, sanitary and eating implements etc) hence the term Shelter Box, and deliver it to disaster locations. This news letter tells of activity in Niger & Mali, Senegal, the Phillipines and Sri Lanka
Dear Rotary President,
Welcome our monthly eNewsletter for Shelterbox Australia.
Working partnerships are often key to the success of a deployment and ShelterBox's partnership with Rotary is often essential to forming these relationships on the ground. More often than not, shelter is only part of the solution, and by working with other NGO's and local organisations we can help provide a more holistic solution that includes food, medical treatment and other services. Partnerships help us remain a lean and efficient organisation.
As we look to increase our fundraising we should also look to increase our working partnerships. In my locale of the NSW Norhtern Rivers, new ShelterBox Ambassador, Alan Hill is working with local choral groups to organise a fundraising concert. Alan, himself a singer, found out about ShelterBox when singing in a similar concert in 2010. Forming such partnerships increases awareness, brings new volunteers on board and greatly increases fundraising potential.
This month's quote comes from Henry Ford, "Coming together is a beginning. Keeping together is progress. Working together is success"
Thanks for your support
