Haiti Earthquake

 The first Rotary ShelterBoxes have arrived in Port au Prince and hundreds more are due to arrive later today (19th Jan).   The ShelterBox Response Team of David Eby (US), Wayne Robinson (US) and Mark Pearson (UK), who have been in Haiti's capital since Thursday, took delivery of the first ShelterBoxes at Port au Prince airport yesterday.  The team say twelve of these boxes will be used to build an emergency field hospital at the airport.  'We are helping build a field hospital with these tents at the airport,' said Mark Pearson. 'These are desperate conditions, amputations are happening every half hour. There's an urgent need for tents at hospitals and this is our first priority.'   Click on the pictures to find out more ..
