FEATURED POST: Mica's MyVillage Mobile phone co

This idea is so amazing that we are giving it its very own post! (oooh....ahhhhhh) Yes, breaking with our established tradition (of five ideas in one post) we dedicate this post to Mica's Mobile Phone idea. Send us your ideas and if they're as good as this one, you too might be honored with featured post!

OK, hear me out.
This is something me and Sara and Carlos thought up after an evening of wine drinking.

Like Working Assets but so much better because, you see,
A) would have the BEST, COOLEST, most top notch tech-fancy phones to go with each service plan.

B) each phone sold, in addition to being a completely awesome, is directly linked to a small village in some lesser advantaged (think rural india) country. They also get a super cool fancy top notch MyVill Mo' Pho', with your number on auto dial.

YOU are a first world self-focused workin' person, trying to get by in the city make a name for your self, despite college loans and the rising cost of living - but at the same time concerned about the world as a whole and unsure how you, personally can help?
Look no further, not only will you have the latest in Mo' Pho' technologies, you will also be doing your part to save the world.
This is how it works, part of your monthly plan includes a $1, $3, $5 adittional plan that goes directly to your assigned village, this money will help them with purchase of grain and other necessities.
When your village has need for something, they simply text you, their First World Mo' Pho' Buddy, and say some thing like ' our goat was killed by a rival tribe - we need another goat for milk. Please help us, we need 4USD to purchase another and a backup one.' This is followed by a message from MyVillage Mobile Co. 'to help your village, dial 530 now' it then simply adds the additional $4.00 to your bill at the end of the month.
Think how great you will feel, if you personally could be saving children on a smoke break from shitty temp job.

Anyways we are looking for venture capital for this one, so, let me know if you're interested.
