In
order to
help fishermen get back to work or villages that may no longer have
fishermen. This is a vital part of their small communities’ economy and
often a major food
source. And a long term health issue.
We
are a very active sport fishing club. We have the wherewithal to offer
significant help to some of the hard hit Tsunami areas. The membership
voted last night at our meeting to donate to the relief efforts. We have a
30 year history of helping the community.
We
reviewed the idea of shipping over fishing gear that would enable a village to get back to
fishing and feeding it’s self. If all of the fishermen in an area were lost
in the village we want to help them train new fisherman. We are working to
fill a container with boxes of packaged gear for each delivery point. We
are also thinking that small fishing boats can be sent as well.
The cost for
shipping is great and we may send items not needed or wanted.
Some of our
membership is exploring the possibly travel to the area and help with the
distribution etc.
