AIDS and PDAs: Yes, There Is a Link!
Posted by Darius Wey in "NEWS" @ 12:00 PM
"Most of the seven million Americans who upgrade to a new PDA every year simply throw their used one away or put it in a drawer not knowing what to do with it. Skyscape and SATELLIFE are creating a "Global Supply Line" that will eliminate this waste and put old handheld devices to good use--by donating them to physicians in Africa. Skyscape will equip these handheld devices with mobile medical references enabling health practitioners in the developing world to access the latest medical information while working in rural areas. This program begins December 1, 2004 (World AIDS Day)."
This is the kind of news that brings warm, fuzzy feelings to your heart, as we don't often sit down and consider how lucky we are to be able to own and even upgrade our PDAs. This is an excellent and well-planned initiative by Skyscape and SATELLIFE in my opinion, and will help improve healthcare in the African nations. Donated PDAs will be fitted with a vast array of popular medical programs to help physicians in their work.
If you would like to donate your PDA, click here for more information. Skyscape are also offering a gift to donators as a quick way of saying "thank you". Are any of you considering helping out the people in Africa? :)
