Day 9 (From Dorset Echo)

Day 9

4:38pm Friday 7th December 2007 in Features By John Baddeley

After a concluding meeting with Mr Faruk and Ali, the SRT head back to Dhaka. Myself and Simon have arranged to fly back tomorrow, whilst Keith and Mark will return a day later. Raul has volunteered to stay on to organise the distribution of a further 200 boxes that have been sent from the UK. A further ShelterBox member will fly from England to meet him. Good luck guys.

Now back in the UK the whole experience is starting to sink in. Its nothing like what I would have imagined, but thanks to outstanding teamwork and rotary assistance, we achieved what we set out to do and provided shelter, warmth and comfort to those affected by the disaster.
