I’m sure like me, every one of you has shed a tear for the people of Haiti following the devastating earthquake.  Instead of feeling totally powerless to help though, Bloggers for Haiti has been established on the JustGiving website to enable us to support the work of Shelterbox.org by donating and raising  funds.

Each shelterbox costs £500, and the contents contain the following urgent supplies:

• A ten-person tent with privacy partitions that allow its occupants to divide the space as they see fit
• A range of other survival equipment including thermal blankets and insulated ground sheets
• Life-saving means of water purification
• A basic tool kit containing a hammer, axe, saw, trenching shovel, hoe head, pliers and wire cutters
• A wood burning or multi-fuel stove that can burn anything from diesel to old paint
• The box itself is lightweight and waterproof and has been used for a variety of purposes in the past – from water and food storage containers to a cot for a newly born baby.
• And lastly, but  just as importantly, each box contains a children’s pack containing drawing books, crayons and pens.  For children who have lost most, if not all, of their possessions.

So,  please make a donation.  No matter how small, every little bit  raises more money to help send to Haiti the supplies they so urgently need to survive.  Please click here to donate.
