Students Use Texting Technology to Save Thousands in the Aftermath of the Haitian Earthquake

Students Use Texting Technology to Save Thousands in the Aftermath of the Haitian Earthquake: "In the aftermath of the earthquake in Haiti, thousands of volunteers from around the world rushed to the small island nation to lend their support to the relief efforts. Combing the country for survivors, digging men, women and children out of the rubble of buildings, providing medical assistance, food, water and shelter; these men and women worked tirelessly around the clock to find and rescue as many people as possible. At the same time, thousands of miles away, in a tiny basement of the Fletcher School at Tufts University in Boston, Massachusetts, four students began to work on a project that could change the face of humanitarian aid as we know it."
