John Tate introduces the new big thing in the world of computing.
Executive director, European Disaster Volunteers
Andy Chaggar co-founded European Disaster Volunteers (EDV) in 2008.
He originally qualified as an Electronic Engineer and worked for five years as a semiconductor designer in Munich, Germany. However, in 2004 he was seriously injured and bereaved in the South-East Asian tsunami.
Following his recovery he began his journey as a disaster response volunteer. Before founding EDV he managed house reconstruction in Thailand, obtained a Masters degree in International Development and implemented sanitation projects in Peru.
In 2010 he was named a winner of the Vodafone Foundation’s World of Difference International Programme. This award is enabling him to direct EDV’s operations in Haiti where the charity is supporting earthquake survivors in achieving sustainable recovery.
