I just saw this on CNN and then went to the site for it - http://www.shelterbox.org/. This is great idea - I was think in the same direction. this box contains everything that is needed that a family could live with all packed in one box - tent - blankets - water containers - cooking stuff - and a lot more. Maybe the money being collected on this site can go to this. Please, go to the site and look - this is a great idea and it is working as you are reading this.
Thanks for the info......it will happen ......... when, is any guess.....the thing I keep in mind is once the "button" is pushed for the go ahead, everything HAS to be in place. Everything has to be completely planned. Both in country and outside the borders. I am sure the "button" has almost been pressed couple of times, but then something pops up that needs to be dealt with. It is a waiting game!
