From: Jerry Isdale <[email protected]> Communitere.org is a volunteer non-profit activity to create a new model for disaster relief and rebuilding. As a Hacker, their approach of providing tools and training to locals touches close. They have been active in Haiti for several years and are now working to build a Tool Collective and Training center in Tacloban Philippines. A hackerspace in Ft Lauderdale FL USA (http://makerssquare.com/) has collected a couple palettes of tools to send, but now needs to find a way to ship them. Please donate, volunteer, spread the word. These are people helping people help themselves - not part of the Global Disaster Business.
