Chris Thompson, President and Chairman of the Board, Humanity Road, when honoring TWB with the DaVinci Award

As Typhoon Haiyan approached the coastline of the Philippines, Humanity Road reached out to Translators without Borders for assistance. Their response to our request was fast and within hours we had our first translation assistance. They helped monitor social media in language and translated text and video messages emerging in social media.  The support provided by Translators without Borders helped save lives and also provided message relay support to reunite families who were rescued.
