The applications for smartphones and tablets can also be supportive and help just causes. This is being demonstrated by the Vodafone Foundation in collaboration with the Atresmedia Foundation And they have created a curious tool called Pass the ball with which the user collaborates with Red Cross just by downloading the application. A project created to take the Red Cross School Aid Plan from mobile to mobile, obtaining financial donations without the user having tospend not one euro
This is a solidarity application based on gamification or the game to grab the user's attention. You just have to download it and pay attention to its notifications as a virtual red ball is circulating from mobile to mobile and, with each pass, the Vodafone Foundation Donate up to four euros on behalf of the user. In a simple, disinterested way and with other issues that we discuss below.
All you have to do is download the application, learn about its features through a small tutorial and register as a user to start using it. For this it is possible to use the social networks Facebook or Twitter, speeding up the process.After that, it is possible to know the current route of the solidarity ball And the user is the protagonist himself, being able to see who currently has the ball on his device,displaying your picture and name until you pass it on. In addition, any user can review the trajectory by scrolling down, and knowing the current amount of money raised for the cause.
The ball remains for up to two minutes in a user's terminal if the user does not react to the notification that it is their turn to give the pass After that it happens automatically, if the user does not shake the terminal before. The ideal is to be attentive to the mobile and pass the ball within a minute, and it is that during that time the Vodafone Foundation donates four euros to Red Cross on behalf of the user. If done during the second minute, the donation is reduced to three euros and up to twoif the user does not react and ends up using the automatic passTo this we must add the 50 cents that are donated automatically just by having downloaded the application . But there is more.
In the lower bar of the Pass the ball application there are other interesting options. One of them is the minigame of the labyrinth An entertainment to pass the time and that is also supportive, allowing the Vodafone Foundation donate others 50 cents if the user completes the challenge the first time they play in the given time. There is also a donation section to learn about the different methods to help this plan. Finally, the third button presents information on the School Aid Plan being carried out by Red Cross
In short, a good way to help selflessly. Just by registering as a user and paying attention to a possible notification to shake the terminal and pass the ball to the next user as soon as possible.The Pass the Ball application is available for both Android and iPhone Full download free on Google Playand App Store
