Dear ROTARY CLUB OF CENTRAL MELBOURNE
I am writing to you to thank your Club for your recent generous donation to ShelterBox. It is the kindness and thoughtfulness of people like you who help us do our job in bringing some hope and returning dignity to many others around the world who have lost their homes and most possessions through disaster or conflict.
As you know ShelterBox is Rotary’s partner in disaster relief, a position we’ve held proudly for the last 11 years. This partnership has enabled us to be first responders, working with Rotary and our in country partner agencies, assisting those deprived of their homes by natural and man-made disasters. In my capacity as Chair of ShelterBox Australia I have the honour to oversight the operations of our organisation here in Australia, and to participate in collaboration with our other Affiliate ShelterBox organisations around the globe. I see first hand the work of our operations centre in the UK, and the deployments of our volunteers when a response is required. I also see the partnership with Rotary in action with many Rotarians in affected countries assisting in the delivery and distribution of our aid.
We continue to respond with distributions in both Türkiye and Syria post the recent earthquake, while also continuing our work in Ukraine, Pakistan, and Yemen.
On behalf of ShelterBox and on behalf of the recipients who will benefit from your donation, I offer my heartfelt thanks. We look forward to your continued support as part of our global ShelterBox family.
Yours Sincerely
Rob
