Extend A Helping Hand, Consider Making A Cell Phone Donation
Michalis 'BIG Mike' Kotzakolios

Mobile phones are like clothes these days. They are fueled by fashion. Once a fashion trend shifts from one style to another, new mobile phone models are released, loaded with more features and more appropriate designs to suit a variety of specific lifestyles. As such, we tend to change mobile phones just as much as we would update our PCs or purchase new clothes for the seasons. Of course, a new mobile phone would give us countless hours of delight. But lost in the hoopla of the moment is the old model that has faithfully served as before. What should we do with it? Perhaps, the most benevolent option is to consider making a cell phone donation.

A cell phone donation is a contribution of your old mobile phone to some charitable institution that would greatly benefit from what you are willing to share. Indeed, your cell phone donation can be a big help to a variety of non-profit establishments relying on the kindness of the world. Let’s take a look at how your cell phone donation can go a long, long way in helping someone out.

* Your cell phone donation, as well as the donation of other people upgrading to newer models, can be used by charitable institutions in the logistics aspect of their activities. They could use your old mobile phones in contacting suppliers, organizers and other important people whenever they are planning or coordinating some events that would raise money for their purposes.

* Some of these charitable institutions actually refurbish your cell phone donation so that it could be sold in the secondary market. All proceeds, of course, would go to their beneficiaries.

* And some of these charitable institutions sell your cell phone donation as they receive them. There are quite a number of establishments which buy them. The charitable institutions tend to earn $10 to $15 per cell phone sold, and this amount can go a long, long way in helping an orphan with her needs, or an elderly person with her medical bills, or an out-of-school youth with her educational expenses.

For your cell phone donation, you are not bound by specific rules. If you can’t find the accessories for your old mobile phone, for example, this wouldn’t bar your desired contribution. Just drop off your phone donation and you’ll able to help. There are drop boxes in a good number of mobile phone retail shops, or you could even ship your cell phone donation direct to the charitable institution of your choice.
