The Jack & Jill Foundation, through its partner Promethean, have launched a campaign where they are asking schools to swap 300 old mobile phones for a new interactive 78 inch Promethean ActivBoard.

My fiancée is a primary school teacher in Cork and she has begun to collect old mobile phones to get an interactive whiteboard for her classroom.

So far we have 19 mobile phones thanks to family and friends. I’m hoping that through the various businesses I know around the country that we can collect together 300 or more phones. Can you help?

19 phones so far..

If you have an old mobile phone lying around, I’ll collect it from you if you’re around Cork city.

It is estimated that there are over 10 million old phones in Irish households so 300 shouldn’t be too hard I hope.

I wonder would they settle for 1 large phone maybe?
