Sheree told us that Shelterbox started about 20 years ago and they are now worldwide. Their mission is to deliver the essential aid people need to begin rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of a disaster. The aid they supply comes in the form of ShelterBoxes and ShelterKits. Their sturdy green ShelterBoxes contain family-sized tents specially designed to withstand the elements and provide people with temporary shelter until they are able to start the process of rebuilding a home. Their  ShelterKits contain all of the essential tools people need to start repairing and rebuilding homes straight away. They usually don't go into a country where the RedCross has a strong presence and they tend to work in rural areas rather than cities.  They have strong links with Rotary. 
The following comes from their website -
Rotarians and Rotary groups across the world support us in a variety of ways, from raising funds to providing support on the ground during our response to a disaster. This enables us to cross boundaries and cut through red tape to reach even the most remote communities.

This partnership has helped us to become who we are today. Our global network of ShelterBox affiliates, which provides all round assistance, evolved from Rotary relationships.

Wally, Doug, Andy, Ken , Soni, Scott and Lynette from the Kyrene Club, along with help from Cathy and Dave worked hard and accomplished several tasks. Lynne, Dana, Fred, and Don  from the Downtown Club also contributed to the assembling of many journal folders. Below are a couple of other photos of the volunteers.

There are 24 students in the class at Kyrene del Pueblo Middle School. The science teacher, Brandon Gritz is leading this project for the 6th time. The Kyrene Rotary Club has 9 volunteers that work with 8 teams of 3 over the entire project. Dave Kline, Doug Bock, Andy Wangstad, Bill Perkins and Ken Pollock are club members. Dave DePrator, Jim Durham, Lourdes Kline, and Skip Pollock are friends of Rotary who round out the volunteer group. We are looking forward to another fun-filled and rewarding project. (The volunteers usually have brunch together after the session) You can watch weekly activities HERE

Here are a couple of pictures of Andy and Doug with their teams.
