The Wireless Foundation
So you just picked up that new cel phone, the one with Internet access, email, global postioning, just about everything one could want. But one question you may not have thought about – what do you do with your old phone? Before you decide to just chuck it, visit todays FamSite first, and see what could be done with it.
The Wireless Foundation is an organization that intiates and oversees the implementation of programs that utilize wireless communications to make communities safer, families more secure, and teachers more effective. They work locally with providers and wireless carriers to implement their progams. One such program is Citizens on Phone Patrol (C.O.P.P.), where phones and air time is donated to neighborhood watch groups to improve the reporting of crimes in their neighborhood. These programs are saluted at their annual achievments awards tonight in Washington, D.C.
You can become involved by donating your old cel phone. To date, over 30,000 older but perfectly good phones have been donated. Isn’t it time you added yours. Enjoy your visit today to this site with such a wonderful mission.
