You've heard of the Invivible Children "Stop Kony" campaign?
My two high school age grandchildren have been actively spreading the truth about this group - where the money really goes, issues that are more important, better ways to improve conditions, etc.
So I asked them today what they are doing to put their money where their mouth is "so to speak." they go to different schools. One school has a very active SRC and they have raised something like $12K so far this year with which they support several charities. For example they adopted about 300 families for Christmas hampers.
The other school does about zero although they have pledged to adopt 5 children in Haiti. So we tossed around fund raising ideas.
I knew that my new nano would arrive today. I said I would donate it and they could raffle it off. A plan started to unfold.
Then, the UPS guy arrived with that generic brown box and the bare nano nestled inside. And it only has 90 day warranty.
My question:
Is it ethical to raffle this thing? Won't the parents of the winner question it's provenance if there is no retail packaging?
I think it would look shabby without the retail box, but the kids think it wouldn't matter.

What do you think?
Did you steal it? If not, it's ethical. If they have a problem with the lack of retail packaging, that's their problem.
I'd just include it in the box it came in from Apple.

Thanks for the feedback. I think if we put a few accessories with it, it won't look so bare.
My granddaughter has been working up a presentation for the school Chaplin and maybe they can channel some of that "kony 2012" energy into something good.
