The pupils of Templeton County Primary School have again responded magnificently to an appeal from the Rotary Club of Narberth and Whitland to fill an Aquabox – a commitment made by the school on many occasions over the last 15 years. Aquaboxes fulfil a role of the Rotary movement by helping people in emergency situations. The boxes are filled with essential community requirements needed after natural disasters, environmental problems or conflict anywhere in the world. The boxes are held centrally in the UK by Rotary, ready for rapid deployment in large numbers when and wherever required. Items collected include cooking equipment, bandages, cotton wool, clothes, toys, kitchen essentials and any basic goods required in disaster situations. Disasters come in many forms - earthquake; cyclone; flood; refugee displacement - but all share a common factor. The most urgent single problem facing the relief agencies is the provision of a supply of safe drinking water. The Aquabox itself, when emptied of its welfare items, converts rapidly to a very effective water filtration unit and is equipped with filters and sterilisation tablets to achieve a pure water supply. The box was received by past president Robin Bradbury on behalf of the Rotary Club of Narberth and Whitland.
