Volunteering with Your Children to Make the World a Better Place: Idea 1

I am starting a new series about ways that you and your children can volunteer and help the world be a better place.  It isn't someone else's responsibility to make the world a better place, it is the responsibility of each and everyone of us to do that.  Isn't that a lesson that we want to instill in our children.  Help them want to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.  When I come across ideas for volunteering, I plan to post them here in order to spread the word.  If you have any other good ideas, I would be happy to share them as well.  After all volunteering is not a one size fits all kind of thing.

Donating your old cell phone may just save the life of an abused mother or her children.  Where to donate:  women;s shelter, operationgratitude.com or cellular recycler.com.  You and your child may collect old cell phones from friends and family, or start a community campaign to collect old cell phones.
