Toby's Fundraising for ShelterBox

The more letters Toby wrote, the more countries we encountered where circumstances were difficult to understand for grown-ups, never mind a little boy. We researched these countries just like all the others, and it didn't take Toby long to decide that he wanted to help. ShelterBox is a charity which focuses on getting aid to those in need - each ShelterBox contains the necessary equipment for a family who has lost everything - shelter, tools, blankets, a stove, cooking utensils, water purification, and small gifts for children. They are also doing a great job to share their work with young people, via a very accessible website for children, volunteering speakers who visit schools, and the possibility to "trace" each box to its final location, giving immediate feedback on where the money goes. More people than we ever thought possible are already helping us - by finding addresses, asking friends, and offering encouragement. Should anybody feel inclined to help Toby go one step further and help him raise money for ShelterBox, you can find Toby's JustGiving page here: http://www.justgiving.com/writingtotheworld.
