Sally Kettle, the newest member of Malvern Hills 126 and trans atlantic (twice) rower has been called by ShelterBox to travel to Earthquake hit Sumatra to assist in the distribution and humanitarian aid.

ShelterBoxShelterBox is an international disaster relief charity that delivers emergency shelter, warmth and dignity to people affected by disaster worldwide. So far 54550 boxes have been distributed worldwide to those needing help and shelter at the most desperate of times.

Starting as the brainchild of one Rotarian with the support of his Rotary club in year 2000 – ShelterBox has grown to become the largest Rotary Club project in the 100 year history of the organisation.

Rotarian support currently contributes an estimated 50% of ShelterBox donations. Around 5,000 rotary clubs worldwide have supported ShelterBox since it was launched.

Recognising this worldwide support from the Rotary community, ShelterBox was designated as a Global Rotary Club Project in 2009. Logos with this designation will now appear on all ShelterBoxes, tents, blankets and ancillary materials. See http://www.shelterbox.org/ for more information on their work.

Rhian Fear, Past National President 2005/06 & Malvern Circler says 'She's such a lovely girl and I'm sure Ladies Circle are going to be so proud of her in this venture and we wish her well and look forward to hearing about it all on her return.

Safe jouney Sally!!!
