Just so you are aware, we have put out a call for 200,000 tents for Haiti and clubs are working hard to find them. I am told there are not that many in the world but what is there Rotary will find.
We are aware that shelter is the urgent need and are also looking at longer lasting shelter as if a hurricane hits the tents will be gone.

Barry... Knowing that the ShelterBoxes are in limited supply, is call the that you folks have for 200,000 more ShelterBoxes? If not, what type of tents are you looking for?
Thanks for the additional feedback!... John

A tent alone is less expensive which would allow us to get to more families. It needs to be strong enough to provide shelter for a reasonable period of time.

Barry... Thanks for the quick reply!... I will see what I can do from this end.
I assume someone has already talked with the ShelterBox folks about just being able to get tents, as I know what they use are of excellent quality and I assume they have the contacts to get them at reasonable price!

Tom Henderson at Shelterbox is aware and just feels there are no tents available. I feel if Rotary Clubs try they will find them.
