Samsung’s latest high-end android Smartphone,
the Galaxy S5, is on Virgin Mobile now. The American carrier has announced the
Galaxy S5 to be its flagship for a social initiative called the ‘RS* Generation’
which seeks to help at-risk and homeless youth by providing them better opportunities.
Virgin Mobile Canada and Virgin Unite are
collaborating on the RE*Generation to help “at-risk and homeless youth get a
step up and provides them with better opportunities.” For every RE*Generation
phone a customer purchases, Virgin Mobile will make a $15 donation to “help the
younger generation get off the street, provide stable accommodations, and
assist in scoring a job,” according the mobile carrier.
“This movement raises awareness about how
Canadians can help at-risk and homeless youth. It is committed to creating new
opportunities and support for at-risk and homeless youth across the country to
help youth emerge out of the cycle of homelessness,” Virgin Mobile states in
its mission statement posted on its website.
Virgin and its members have risen over $1
million through this program.
