"I deployed to Fort Dix to set up for the Afghan refugees. We were setting up right next to a group of young school aged kids and one of them had looked over, trying to figure out what we were doing.
‍
There was a pretty big language barrier but we said "Wifi" and as soon as that word came out of our mouths a whole bunch of the kids whipped around and you could see smiles spreading across their faces. It also got the attention of the adults that were standing around, it would be the first time they could talk to loved ones through internet access. Some of them had been separated from their families for months at that point.

I've deployed three times so far and each time I've been able to do meaningful things; I wouldn't trade those experiences for anything."

"This was my first deployment, but I learned that Hawaii was unique in its communication needs. The large amount of donations really spoke to the support of the community, as well as the need to be adaptable. Working in a disaster zone takes willingness and flexibility to make your environment work best for you. And resourcefulness. The work mode of “anywhere is an office” takes some creativity at times.

This picture was taken at a distribution point at Napili Market, just north of Lahaina, on Maui -- where ITDRC was tasked to set up communications for the relief efforts. Thousands of people came to this point of distribution for donations, hot food and medical attention. "Being able to connect with locals one on one was very rewarding. Helping a stranger get through a disaster can really set up a potentially life-long friendship."

"I truly believe that deploying to disasters is a calling; if you are willing to give of your time, energy, and personal comforts you have an amazing opportunity to positively impact the lives of individuals. Volunteering for me is the opportunity to see individuals who are willing to pull together towards a common goal of helping others. If you look around you will see people of every background imaginable contributing their talents and abilities to help others whether its providing Wifi, serving meals, removing debris...there is always a way to help someone in need."
