 The charity says donors have been very loyal |
One of the largest aid shipments collected in a Derby-based charity's history is on its way to Honduras. The Children of Honduras Trust has been sending aid to the Central American country for the last 30 years.
This time it has had enough donations to fill three, 40-foot long cargo containers with equipment, despite concerns over 'charity fatigue'.
The charity makes one shipment every year but this is enough to bring aid to an estimated 6,000 children.
Founder Jennifer Cox said: "We have been very lucky because we are a very tiny organisation so people have been very loyal.
"They realised the tsunami will have taken a lot of the funding so they have tried to make sure it has worked for us.
"(The tsunami) has altered things, we have lost some things but other things like blankets which were collected from this area and not wanted have come to us."
