Besides the fundraising Dance they are having materials published to help MHS understand the severity of the plight of emigrants and their current plan is to create displays that will both help educate students about ShelterBox and refugees in general by citing specific case studies from ShelterBox. The main goal is to make the issue more tangible to students, but the great part of working with ShelterBox is to have students actually step inside the tent so they can gain an appreciation for the situation where people their age will have to live for extended periods of time. Legacy 2020 hopes to raise enough to purchase ten ShelterBoxes.
