Web Phones for Shelters:
A Project of the Lafayette Technology Community and the LCT Digital Divide Committee

Lafayette has come together to help the refugees from Katrina communicate with family and friends. We have limited computer resources and the promise of VIOP phones.

Unfortunately a comprehensive list of Acadiana Shelters. What we need is a list of all Acadiana shelters which house 50 or more people and which have a broadband connection. (This phone system requires an internet connection that is faster than a regular phone modem can supply.)

If you know of such a location please let us know

This form will direct email to our coordinator for this project, Bryan Fuselier.

Please fill out the following form and we will contact you.(If you aren't sure about the internet, let us know, we can probably help you figure out the suitability of your internet connection.)
