DID SOMEBODY SAY TENTS?


I know some of you are worried that blankets just don't cut it for the earthquake victims.

Well fret no longer mes amis!

A friend has e-mailed me information about an organization that will send a kit comprising of;

- one 10 person sleeping tent
- ten sleeping bags
- food
- clean water
- and other goodies

Feel free to visit the following websites for further information about how you can put you money to REAL good use;

Essentially, trying to save lives immediately is more ethical than trying to save more lives later on.

Though, it may appear you have saved more lives later on, you can never be certain that such lives outweigh in number those who may had perished in wait.

To act quickly in any emergency is a basic protocol.

Well thats the point of the bargain, to be able to save More Lives with the resouces you have.

And i was unsuccessfully trying to find place which would
have huge disaser relief tents like on celinatents website
otherwise i can imagine a scuffle with the strongest winning if you send 50-100 small tents that may house a quarter of All who need it even in a specific area. But
prices do become a limiting factor.

Saving the maximum number of lives still takes higher priority over maximizing purchasing power / benefit.

Whats wrong with best bargain.........so u get maximum benefit as no amount of effort seems enough in the face of the magnitude of the disaster and its aftermath.

It boggles the mind that some want to find the best 'bargain' to stretch their dollars?

FOR GOD'S SAKE WE ARE TRYING TO SAVE THEIR LIVES, NOT OUR MONEY!

In trying to find the best deal as possible who knows how many more will die. It is likely such materials are not cold rated, substandard, used or defective. Why are you wasting time??????

Time is at a premium because it is TIME that will kill the survivors, who were left waiting, waiting, waiting and dying.

I CHALLENGE ANYONE TO FIND ANYTHING BETTER THAN SHELTERBOX.ORG IN TERMS OF;

PROVEN TRACK RECORD
QUALITY AND STANDARDIZATION OF SUPPLIES
SCOPE OF DISTRIBUTION
INTERNATIONALLY RECOGNIZED INTEGRITY
i.e. Rotary Club International
