ROTARY ROTATING DINNER
31STOCTOBER , 2015
MURDER MYSTERY NIGHT
Shelter Box
Guest Speaker: Tim Klar
Tim is the secretary and coordinator of Shelter Box Australia.
He has been a Rotarian for 25 years holding the positions of
President and Paul Harris Fellow and is a member of the
Coromandel Valley Club.
Shelter box is set up for Disaster Relief. Its aim is Shelter, Warmth,
Dignity for people who have been displaced by disaster. The aid is
delivered by a response team and the shelter is designed to last for a year.
The response team is trained in Cornwall and many members of the
teams have returned to Cornwall to train new members of the response
team. Donors who make donations to Shelter box can track where their
box is being used, as each box has a bar coded number making it possible
to track the shelter box. Each box costs $1000. When there is a disaster
speed of reaching the area is of the utmost importance. Recipients are
given a box in which is a tent, cooking utensils, bedding and clothing.
The recipients are given the package and do not have to return it. The
tents have a life expectancy of a year. The main problem which confronts
the organisation is the ability to build up stocks. When the earthquake
struck in Haiti there were not enough tents even to supply to some of the
victims there were not enough in the world for the demand. It appears
that recovery from one disaster leads to another so a stock pile is not
achieved. There have been millions supported throughout the world and
for example in the last ten years in major disasters 900k have been killed
and110 million have been affected. Many small disasters do not receive a
great deal of publicity. The disasters have recorded one million deaths.
Tim asked that Rotary Clubs do not forget Shelter Box as a club project.
Thank you Tim for a very informative and challenging talk.
