           <description><![CDATA[We hear that our boxes have arrived at Royenda so make a return journey to the disaster site. With the army’s help, we take the boxes further south by boat and distribute to the areas most
affected. Those in most need had been identified by the army making our job relatively simple. The people were assembled to receive a demonstration of how to erect the tents and use the other
essential equipment provided. Signatures were required before the boxes could be taken by their new owners. I was impressed by the order brought about by the army and their efficiency in dealing with
the situation. This in itself must have instilled a sense of normality back into the lives of the cyclone victims.]]></description>

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.]]></description>

           <description><![CDATA[As our plane descends into the smog of Dhaka, I’m feeling a mixture of excitement and trepidation. This is my first deployment with the Cornwall based charity ShelterBox and I’ll be on
a steep learning curve. I’m travelling with Simon, an experienced ShelterBox Response Team (SRT) member. From news and media reports, the affects of Cyclone Sidr have been considerable.
Conservative estimates place the number of deaths in the region of 4000 and the number of displaced people at over a million.]]></description>

           <description><![CDATA[We attend a meeting with the bureau for disaster management. There’s a presentation on the cyclone and its effects and what lessons can be learned for the future. Frustration mounts as we
are still unable to help those currently in need.]]></description>

           <description><![CDATA[Keith and I accompany Ali to Royenda, a village in the disaster area. This is our first experience of the effects of Cyclone Sidr. The destruction is considerable and widespread. Houses and
shelters destroyed, drinking water supplies contaminated, vegetation and crops flattened, fishing boats smashed. However, the sea levels have returned to normal. I could only imagine what it would be
like to be faced with a 15ft wall of water sweeping away everything in its path. Cyclone shelters had been erected following previous incidents, but these could not cope with the numbers affected.
However, the people we met appeared to be in good spirits and had begun the arduous task of rebuilding their homes and lives. Being predominantly Muslim, I could only think they were accepting of
what Allah had decided would be their fate. Or perhaps they had just seen it all before. If only I was able to speak directly to the people and perhaps get a better understanding of their
plight.]]></description>

           <description><![CDATA[We return to the site of our first distribution to continue the process. It’s good to see the tents we supplied yesterday are already being used. It’s a long day but we have now
provided Shelter to the region of 200 families from this village.]]></description>
