So I have been kicking around an idea for mobile phone recycling and
fund-raising for us as a group, church, mission center or overall church.
An organization, Collective Good (www.collectivegood.com), recycles phones
for use in developing countries and pays a small amount per phone to
charitable groups. Good for BAYA, Good for Mother Earth, and Good for some
fund-raising. I was thinking this could be a fairly simple way to raise a
little money for, on a small scale, the campership fund or, on a larger
scale, Outreach International. Perhaps we could partner with TreeBed or
even SIFE, in some manner. I know we are all busy, but what do you think?
Good or bad idea? Not enough time? Your input is appreciated.

I am in... I think that the Blog could actually be a good place to organize this (or at least test the idea). If you took the lead on this and then posted things that you needed help with (or use e-mail and just post your progress), then people could jump in even if their involvement was a simple as providing a phone. We could also look as using Backpack for something like this... post todo lists and such. Maybe we need a BAYA Backpack as well...
I liked the Backpack idea and even stole your name for it. BAYA Backpack has been created as a way to track to dos and other stuff for our activities. Cool Stuff. Check it out at :
