Donate Your Old Cell Phone

Do you have hang-ups when it comes to giving back?

If we’ve got your number, fret not, because by simply donating your old cell phone – you know, the one taking up space in your dresser drawer or your kid’s toy box – you can save lives.

Hope Phones is an organization which recycles your used cell phone to benefit the global public health efforts of Medic Mobile, their parent organization, which advances healthcare in eleven countries with mobile technology. The ability to make a phone call enables health care providers to call patients in remote areas, which can sometime means the difference between life and death.

Hope Phones will take ANY cell phone, whether it’s in working order or not, and phones do not need to come complete with a charger or other accessories.

Donating your phone is as fast and easy as making a phone call, except it’s free!

If Hope Phones can recycle just 1 percent of disposed phones each year, they can outfit 1 million health workers, improving the lives of 50 million people.

This is great. I posted it on facebook. However after reading Jackie T's reply I'm curious to know also, will these phones work in the middle of nowhere? I sort of doubt it.

That is a very good thing that you are doing. On www.youtube.com please put in MAAFA21 & click search. And then please watch that very short film. It talks about how after chattel slavery ended for Africans in USA,the wealthy white elite,& other white racists,didn't want Africans in America any more. And they joined the American Eugenics Society,& devised a way to exterminate Africans with Birth Control,& now with Abortion by Planned Parenthood. PLease see the film. And please fight to defund Planned Parenthood. And please try to get Black females not to have abortions. And the white man told us we are black and ugly. Please tell us we are black & beautiful. Because since we feel Black & ugly,& unloved,that is why Black females are having abortions. Please see MAAFA21 on www.yotube.com
