Mobile Phone Recycling
Phones for Vans - Wanted Dead or Alive
An appeal with a difference
A unique offer to CfC from Mercedes UK and Dixons is converting mobile phones into new vehicles. Yes 4000 phones or the equivalent of £40,000= One new modified Mercedes Lorry which is urgently needed to help us help desperately needed Children, Orphanages and Schools across Eastern Europe.
It's hard to imagine small children lacking shoes, clothing and basic sanitation and having to beg for food in places where the temperature regularly plummets below -20C. Sadly it's a picture we see to frequently and urgently need your help to change these situations.
