Dear friends,
We have spent much time arguing about Obama's plan and the Republican response. We have opinions about the French, British and such.
But when the going gets tough, the tough get going.
By the way, got the call to deploy to Iraq last night to help with the Syrian refugee crisis, fly out in the morning. Will try to keep you all posted if security procedures permit and provide you information for your presentations.
Thanks for all you do for Shelterbox.

So ShelterBox Response team members from USA and UK and from other places in the world are there working hard to help with great wave of humanity fleeing chemical weapons, war and death.

Some 6.8 million people have been forced from their homes in war-torn Syria, according to the United Nations Refugee Agency (UNHCR), having been exposed to violence and unremitting fighting. Many now remain within the borders with no home to go to and no possessions. There are 1.6 million refugees, three quarters of them being women and children, seeking safety and shelter across neighbouring countries. Many are living in flimsy cramped makeshift shelters. The vast majority of fleeing families arrive with little more than the clothes on their backs. Many are injured from continuous bombing and shelling. They have no regular food and no income. Men, women and children are suffering through no fault of their own. They are in desperate need of emergency shelter and other lifesaving supplies. ShelterBox is responding.
This is a video on CNN covering The ShelterBox response there.
