With a concrete-canvas production line slated to be up and running by the end of the month, and the first tents shipping in the next six months, the British duo are trying to remain realistic about their goals. Though both were deeply moved by what they saw in Uganda, Brewin says they try not to let emotions influence the way they run their Wales-based company. "You need to be logical if you're going to do something that's effective," he says. "Essentially we are a commercial company. But from a humanitarian perspective, to provide units that are helpful would be a big success for us." The Ugandan refugees they met would sleep better with stronger roofs over their heads. Putting those shelters in place will help Brewin and Crawford sleep better, too.

    Fema should look into this. This may be cheaper, but yet they will probably find something to sue them over on that. Do you know fema is still paying rent on hurricane victims here in Louisiana. I'm sorry, but that is just retarded. Tell them people to get out and get a job and PAY YOUR OWN BILLS.

    I like the idea, this could be coupled with the Sentry 5000 unit and have complete utilities available AC/ heat. Electric, Purfied Water RO system, Air compressor,, lights. www.titansentry.com

    if they were soaked with alcohol instead of water then they would dry faster, it would add expense though
