(openPR) - The 2008 Aid + Trade event will have a distinct focus on shelter solutions for humanitarian purposes. The event has been “proposed and led by Graham Saunders, Head of Shelter at the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies and co-leader of the global shelter cluster, the event will feature a “Shelter provision coordination” workshop and a “Shelter coordination roundtable”.
Mr. Saunders says “these features aim to better capitalize on the resources, both financial and technical, of the commercial sector, by informing that sector of the particular preferences, needs and complexities of the humanitarian sector” says Aid + Trade.

IADDIC Shelters will be represented by Richard McHargue, President of Worldwide Business Development. Mr. McHargue says, “Our product line of affordable, durable dwellings supplies disaster victims and urban renewal projects with a solid-structure housing solution which offers superior privacy and weather protection compared to temporary accommodations such as tents and tarps”.

They can be collapsed and packaged in vacuum-sealed bags for optimal storage and transportation. Once in the field, they are easily deployed and quickly cure to a sturdy structure.

“We are very excited to be attending such an important event where we can introduce our green initiatives using environmentally friendly components in our shelter,” says Mr. McHargue.

About the event:
The 2008 International Aid + Trade Event will be held on January 29th -30th in Geneva, Switzerland and brings together the global humanitarian relief, aid and development community to embrace the challenge of integrated aid and development.
