Shelterbox Helping Haiti.

Shelterbox Helping Haiti.
I saw a story about this great company ShelterBox on CNN last week. Check out how they are helping in Haiti and around the world.
 
ShelterBox instantly responds to earthquake, volcano, flood, hurricane, cyclone, tsunami or conflict by delivering boxes of aid. Each box supplies an extended family of up to 10 people with a tent and lifesaving equipment to use while they are displaced or homeless. The contents are tailored depending on the nature and location of the disaster, with great care taken sourcing every item to ensure it is robust enough to be of lasting value. 
 
Really cool the spirit of starting a business is focused on helping people. Please let me know of other businesses you know of like this.

Ben -- Thanks for the shout-out re Shelterbox. I'm a Shelterbox volunteer and Response Team member/trainee. The fact is, Shelterbox is super grassroots/entrepreneurial. Even the people who physically accompany the boxes to their ultimate owners (typically families or women with small children) are volunteers. Two of them were on the ground in Haiti less than 48 hours from when the quake occurred. And they're given incredible latitude to make sure the boxes get the shelter to those who need it most. Thanks again for the shout-out. --Steve in Boulder PS Let me know if that Airstream ever finds its way to Colorado. The coolest I've seen.
