Shelterbox is a Rotary sponsored international disaster relief charity that delivers emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people affected by disaster worldwide. Each box costs $1000.
The Rotary Club of Edmonds through its Foundation has donated funds for more than 10 boxes, the latest of which was for Haiti. More information can be obtained from their web site at ShelterBox.org (Click the Shelterboxes under Club Links in the left margin). The organization has distributed more than almost 58,000 boxes. Since each will accommodate 10 persons they have provided shelter and relief for more than a half million people. These boxes contain many items needed for people who have lost everything. The Shelterbox link will show you a photo of the box and its contents. Letters acknowledging previous grants, 8 to Agades, Niger in West Africa and 1 to Kavango, Mamibia Africa by Edmonds Rotary Club can be read on the link on the left.
If you want to help, you can submit your contribution to the Edmonds Rotary Foundation, Box 115, Edmonds, WA 98020. You will receive a receipt for your contribution. Under a special law, you may be eligible to deduct your contributions from your Income taxes for 2009 if received by the Foundation prior to March 15th, 2010.

Pure Water for the World
Posted

on Nov 21 2009
Lamin Manneh, World Service Chair of the Rotary Club of Edmond, presented a check for $3,900 to Nancy McDonald for "Pure Water for the World" at the November 17 meeting. The money will be used to build and install filters for households in El Paraiso Honduras. It is estimated that $6 will provide clean water for a family of 4 for 10 years using this simple but effective filter.
A sample filter was on display at the meeting.
This filter has a proven track record for being cost-effective, reliable and sustainable. Made of either concrete or plastic, the filter is filled with multiple grades of sand and gravel. Pollluted water is poured into the filter, passes through the layers of sand and gravel and clean water flows out the plastic pipe. The water is parasite free, clear in color , clean in taste and safe for human consumption.
