Helping the helpers
Once TSF arrives at a disaster site, they set up telephone connections and internet service. They share these services with other international helpers on the scene such as the UN or UNICEF. Mobile communication helps these other volunteers do their jobs better.

The local connection
TSF also offers three-minute phone calls to local people who need to contact their loved ones. These brief communications can allow people to get together again after being separated. Often the callers are moved to tears of gratitude after speaking to a relative found to be still alive. Then the families can decide on a safe course of action for their family members.

Since 1998, TSF has helped thousands of people in dozens of countries. Remarkably, most of the TSF staff does not get paid - with money, that is. But the satisfaction of helping others and changing lives is often a great reward in itself.
