Supporting Shelterbox - a Helston based humanitarian aid charity who send big green boxes to people all over the world. The box contains a ten man tent, sleeping bags, rope, cooker.... enough equipment to support 10 people for six months.

At £490 per box the girls wished to raised enough to buy 100 boxes. The box has provided shelter for homeless families from earthquake affected Pakistan to Tsunami hit Sri Lanka, war torn Somalia and Uganda.

The total so far is in the region of £20,000, with money still coming in.

To sponsor the girls please go to their Justgiving site or contact Shelterbox directly.
