Irish charity to provide internet and phone access to Philippines

An Irish charity is travelling to the Philippines to provide internet and phone access to those affected by Typhoon Haiyan so they can re-connect with their families.
Disaster Tech Lab is a non profit organisation that works to restore communications following natural disasters.
It will provide internet access to local and foreign relief organisations – as well as two temporary hospitals.
According to official estimates –  2,000 people are still missing and at least half a million people are homeless following the typhoon.
Founder of Disaster Tech Lab, Evert Bopp, says many of the IT volunteers are people from the Phillipines who are going home to help:
“We’ve got volunteers from Ireland, we’ve got volunteers from the UK and the US. As it happens at the moment now, nearly half of our team are native Philippinos, or people who live there themselves and have chosen to work with us.”
