It’s a widespread assumption that anyone born in, or before, the 50’s or early 60’s cannot even fathom the grandeur of modern technology. Texting, tweeting, tumblr-ing, instagraming, it all seems lost on their aged minds. However this stereotype is perhaps less influenced by reality, and more a reflection of how a younger generation wishes to preserve their childhood.
Because electronics continue to be replaced for the latest version, the Hope 4 Ghana Club has arranged a fundraiser from Jan. 4-14 to provide another alternative to simply throwing away old electronics.
The club is collecting used cell phones, lap tops, MP3 players, iPods, handheld games, GPS, video cameras and still cameras that can be dropped off in the boxes in NCHS main lobby or Saint Luke’s School. The money raised will support the Ghana Children’s Fund, an organization started by senior Julia Tuttle’s family, that benefits the Good Shepherd Orphanage in Ghana
