Haiti Earthquake Aqua Box Appeal

Manx Residents Urged To Help Earthquake Affected Areas

A major charity initiative has been launched to get much needed aid out to disaster struck Haiti after an earthquake earlier in the week which has left tens of thousands of people missing feared dead.

The Rotary Club of Onchan are appealing for donations which can then be poured into purchasing Aquaboxes, a device can turn dirty water drinkable.

Nigel Dobson of the Rotary club said that the Island put together similar funds for the Tsunami in 2004. The Manx publics generosity helped thousands of people. (audio above)

Nigel wanted to reassure the public that all of the money received would be put toward the life saving devices, and in the possession of those who need them within 3 days.
