Surfers and ShelterBox Help Mentawai Tsunami Victims

0

Indonesia in general and the Mentawai Islands in particular are a favourite destination for many a globe-trotting surfer. On October 25th a magnitude 7.7 earthquake took place beneath the ocean to the West of Sumatra, which triggered a 3 metre high tsunami. At least 450 people died in the tidal wave.

After overcoming numerous difficulties ShelterBox managed to start delivering shelter to homeless islanders on November 12th.  Surf charter boats have been helping the ShelterBox Response Team to distribute tents to the affected areas.

Here are some pictures of the ShelterBox team's efforts in Indonesia.
