As Guam residents and government agencies work to clean up debris and assess damages, IT&E hopes that the donation of the Wireless phones will help keep officials and volunteers in constant contact.

“ With power, water and other such utilities down, we want to do what we can during this recovery process by keeping communications lines open,” said IT&E General Manager Joseph J. Perez, “Now that the storm has passed, communication is the key to a speedy recovery.”

IT&E chose to donate the Wireless phones to the American Red Cross and People Helping People because of their efforts to aid the people of Guam and the Mayors Council to aid in village restoration.

“ We are very concerned with relief efforts for individuals and their families. That being the case, we felt that our services could be better used by organizations like the Red Cross and People Helping People. Now more than ever we need to support each other to get through this time,” Perez said.
