Support a great cause; Josh Nesbit co-founded FrontlineSMS:Medic

Josh Nesbit co-founded FrontlineSMS:Medic to bring the innovative use of mobile phones for healthcare to the developing world. A central clinic laptop runs FrontlineSMS software, enabling community health workers to use text messages to coordinate patient care, offer mobile diagnostics, and map health services.

I just watched this video and thought to myself, how many old cell phones do I have in my home and when counting I came to see that I had like 5 phones. The answer was clear I had to donate these immediately and join the cause. I ask that any of you who read my blog and who can do likewise do. This is truly an amazing cause to be part of.
