On 2/22/22 the Rotary Club of Cuyahoga Falls was pleased to host Past District Governor John (Jack) Young as guest speaker. Jack spoke to the club about ShelterBox, where he serves on the Board of Directors. Club members got to learn about the amazing work Rotary and ShelterBox have done and continue to do sending shelter boxes and shelter kits to disaster areas providing immediate relief with supplies including: tented shelter, blankets and groundsheets, solar lights, cooking utensils, water purification equipment, a tool kit, mosquito nets, and children’s activity packs.Jack also shared about the “Children of the Dump”, a community in Nicaragua where many families live off a garbage dump barely getting by. The club got to hear about the shoebox project, and the thousands of boxes of supplies given to needy children each year. District 6630 has sent over $500,000 of medical supplies, children’s shoe boxes, and emergency vehicles to Nicaragua.
