TROPICAL CYCLONE PAM, Vanuatu- March 2015, NEPAL EARTHQUAKE RESPONSE, Nepal- April 2015

Filled with blankets,water containers, cooking utensils, a stove, pots, pans, children’s books and pencils, mosquito nets, and most importantly , the “Disaster Aid” tent which is the largest humanitarian interconnect-able aid tent available.
Our contribution is helping rebuild broken lives in the Pacific and Nepal.
