Vodafone is proud (for good reason) to announce that all text donation made through the network operator’s special numbers will be given to charities 100% -no texting or transaction charges will be deducted from the amount that is transferred. In what is considered to be one of the most generous and ingenious ways of promoting the spirit of reaching out to others, mobile network operator Vodafone seems to have just hit the sweet spot.

In today’s society, there are plenty of people who are willing to help aid many important charities and causes –if only financially. Time and energy are resources that people are not always willing to share, and often, even the simple act of handing out a check may take plenty of time and effort.

This is what makes text donations so successful and basically what makes any drive successful too. Mobile phones provide convenience: and instant and easy way to help out without having to take an hour away from work or other activities.

The medium is already successful as it is. After all, almost everyone in the UK owns a mobile phone and the process is as simple as texting a single message. The effort and energy needed is minimal, and the only time lost is a little under a couple of minutes at best. The greatest and most rewarding part of the whole act is that people still know they got to help out too.

Now, Vodafone is encouraging more people to start or keep donating through their channels. With a promise that all the proceeds would go to charity, many more people will be inclined to make donations (after all, having several donation transactions would originally rack up on a monthly bill).

Of course, the biggest beneficiaries are the charities, volunteer groups, causes and relief centers that would be receiving the donations.

Mobile phones are important, even children need it these days. Having a handset means that you can contact your child at any time and be sure of how they are doing and where they are. A single text message is discreet and unobtrusive, and children feel at ease answering these digital notes.

Of course, having a mobile phone is much more than that. While it is easy to control what calls a child can make (some phones can be locked and some network operators have special family plans –as well as the ability to cut off call functions once the duration goes past the monthly allowances), there are other phone functions to consider, most importantly, the ability to access the internet.

What makes mobile phones –smart phones in particular a bigger issue than computer is the fact that children do not always have access to the home computer at a very young age, and adding a password is quite easy. Mobile phone access on the other hand gives the child warrant to go online almost anytime, anywhere, and this, if stopped abruptly, could prove to be a difficult decision to bear with.

Teaching children about using web access properly starts with teaching them to have a conviction of their own, and the strength to stand up for their own belief. With their peers most likely on social networks that they too will be joining, it is important that a child understands that the web is not a place that will tell you what is right and wrong, and that it is up to each user to determine what should be done.

Of course, a little guidance along the way help, but over surveillance could lead children to start hiding things. The most important thing to do after teaching a child is to actually trust the child to follow what was taught.
