Shelter Box update - Japan

Mike Cahill MBE | Director, ShelterBox New Zealand Charitable Trust writes:


I have just been informed that one of our Kiwi SRT's, Lyndon Tambyln (a Rotarian from Bulls) is to be deployed to Japan.
He leaves tommorrow, Tuesday 29th March, to join up with other international SRT's in an aid convoy leaving Tokyo on Wednesday to make the long trip north.
When he can, he will keep me updated on his work and I will of course pass this on to you.
Our best wishes to him and his family for his safe and speedy return.
Regards
Mike
