Member Douglas Smith said: "Sadly, ShelterBox's work is not finished. Its emergency team has now had to fly into Chile, where over 700 people have been killed in the earthquake and goodness know how many are homeless.
"It is hard to ask people, who have already dug so deep into their pockets, but I now hope we might yet fund another two boxes, this time for Chile."
