HUDDERSFIELD Rotary Club is helping victims of the Asian earthquake.

The club has sent two approved ShelterBoxes to Pakistan. The sponsored boxes, costing £500 each, hold a 10-man tent, sleeping bags, water purification tablets, water carriers, cooking utensils, a shovel, rope, a toolkit and a multi-fuel stove.

Peter Whittle, of the Rotary club, said: "These tents are very durable and will give adequate shelter in extreme weather.

"The money for the boxes was raised by collections at Sainsbury's stores at Shore Head and Market Street, with the balance coming from the club's charity account."
