As world news continues to be dominated by the Rohingya Crisis in Bangladesh and Myanmar, I'm proud to say that newly qualified Australian ShelterBox Response Team Volunteer, Tommy Gray has deployed to help continue our response. Tommy typifies our volunteers, having already given up 2 weeks of his time to SRT selection and training, completed 50+ hours of pre-course study and put his hand up to help out with our recent USOPs course (see details below). He will now spend the next 3 weeks in Bangladesh helping some of the most vulnerable people in the world. Many of our other volunteers have been busy promoting ShelterBox and raising much-needed funds for disaster relief. These volunteers, like our donors, are an essential part of the ShelterBox team.
 
If you would like to give some time to helping those affected by disaster, check out our website.  You may like to become an Ambassador, a Club Advocate or trek the Annapurna and raise funds. Whatever you chose, we'd love to have you on the team!
 
This month's quote comes from H Jackson Brown Jnr, “Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.”
