Worldwide Shelters Visits Panama
Posted on: Monday, October 13th, 2008 | Filed under: Company News | By: Worldwide Shelters
Members of Worldwide Shelters (WWS) went on their inaugural visit to Panama to meet with the humanitarians that support the Latin America and Caribbean region. With the outcry for shelter so desperately needed, Panama was the ideal place for WWS to gain a further understanding for its pre-positioning shelter strategy.
Due to the predictable nature of the region’s annual storms, a shelter plan is paramount to assisting the disaster response groups who risk their own lives helping those who need it most.
WWS’ would like to formally thank members from PAHO & the UN-WFP, IOM, MSF and UNICEF for their participation and hosting of their 1st Humanitarian Shelter Meeting in Latin America.
