Shelterbox update


£150 donated already to the runwildrunfree appeal. Another £350 and WE can do our bit to help those in need in Haiti. Go to www.runwildrunfree.co.uk homepage and 'click' on the shelterbox logo to donate. Your help is really appreciated.

More than 200 ShelterBoxes are set to arrive in Port au Prince, Haiti later today.

256 ShelterBoxes that were dispatched from the prepositioned stock in Curacoa on Wednesday are due to touch down in Haiti late this afternoon, Haitian time, providing the plane they are on is cleared to land. However, the situation in Port au Prince is extremely fluid and logistics are changing minute by minute.

ShelterBox Response Team (SRT) members David Eby (US), Wayne Robinson (US) and Mark Pearson (UK) have been in Port au Prince since Thursday and have been working around the clock assessing the most effective ways to distribute the much needed aid.

The Response Team says the situation on the ground is frantic but there doing all they can to make sure they deliver aid into Port au Prince as quickly as they can.
