What would you do?
We received a call from a farm school for help!
A situation exists where this little school is struggling to teach their children on old computers and they have approached @papilloncharity for help.
Just a short history about @papilloncharity here;
Founded in 2001 and officially registered in 2002, Papillon has created some major successes in the empowerment of poor communities and our efforts have become legendary across the country.
Due to a lack of resources, we cannot answer every need that streams in, but we prioritize needs and help those that we can. We have built up an amazing track record over the years against the odds of a lack of support and we simply continue with our work regardless of the sacrifices.
More information can be found on our website:

Join us on this trip!
We left our place before sunrise this morning!
Beautiful to see the sunrays behind the mountains!
We were nearing the destination!
This is the small farm school!
And this is their sparse computer classroom!
Only two computers are working!
Here is the other working computer!
A 1948 property across from the school!
Here we are on our way back home!
So what would you do?
Well we met with the principal, a very humble man, and he told us about their struggles to deliver quality IT lessons to the pupils. The computers work on old Windows XP systems and of course it is difficult to load new lessons.
They had heard about the donation by @papilloncharity of 20 computers to another farm school and they humbly asked if we could also help them with only 6 late model computers. He emphasized the need for quality training.
Well how could we refuse to help them?
I promised him that we will make a plan to help and we surely will do so. How, I don't know yet, but I have a few plans to work on. Watch this space for the result of our efforts!
Thank you for visiting @papilloncharity

What we really need here is a crowdfunding effort! I love the way everyone knows where to go for the extra touch of care.
For as long as I have known you, you have been helping and loving on people no matter where you go, no matter what you do. How fortunate for this world to have a Sir Stephen in their life!
Many blessings to you, my friend! Love to you always!

Been walking a long road together Lady Denise and in my eyes you were always the star of the show.
Not that you don't deserve it, as you have always pat a 100% in your efforts.
And on top of that you are an eloquent and caring soul.
Thank you for your kind support and may many more blessings reign in your life!
Oh, you are far too kind! Seriously.
You are truly the king of giving, not only of things but, of yourself. I admire you and Lady Marion for all you do and all you propose. I wish my support was as big as your needs, or your needs to fulfill others.
You are in my thoughts and definitely in my prayers. You and @PapillionCharity.
This is a very worthwhile project.
To get the ball rolling I have sent over 67 STEEM and 115 SBD from the @adollaraday project account.
This has been gathered from recent donations from @pennsif, @delishtreats, @drakos, @homesteaderscoop, @marblely, @quochuy and @shanibeer.
Hopefully that will encourage others to contribute.
Do you know yet the approximate total you will need for the computers?
@pennsif, @adollaraday and the team; @delishtreats, @drakos, @homesteaderscoop, @marblely, @quochuy and @shanibeer.
Ya'all continue to amaze us with your giving hearts over all this time!
A great and sincere thank you for the kind help here!
You are all champions!
Blessings!
Would love to hear how you get on :)
Thank you @shanibeer and I will certainly report on progress!
We always do and I am not aware if you saw the Maxonia poor farm school report.
It is on our page somewhere!
Blessings!

The farm school called the right person for help! You have helped so many over the years. Here is a bit extra from me... !Tip 3.0
Thank you so much dear Lady @melinda919100
This is the kindness in your heart that is reflected here.
After the operation I was told that the recovery period might take up to 3 years and the doctor said that I will be forced to take it easy. Almost like they wanted to put this old war horse out to pasture.
But they miscalculated as this old mule still has plenty of fight in him hahaha.
The question, as always remains! If we don't help the genuine needy, who will?
And so we have trimmed things down, sold out up north and move down here, but poverty is everywhere and we can't just stand idly by. Not after spending 17 years at Papillon helping poor people and families.
So we have scaled down a little bit and now Marian is happy that she doesn't have to prepare reams of financial papers for the auditors anymore. In fact she only has to prepare one little paper of income and expenses.
In the meantime we have recently done 20 computers to the Maxonia farm school and delivered more than 9000 Adult Diapers to poor old age homes and community members in 3 towns. All for free as usual.
So what's 6 more computers for this small school now? I am sure that we will find a way.
Before I leave this planet, I have two more huge, long term empowerment projects up my sleeve that's going to help thousands. But all in its own good time.
Thank you for the help.
Blessings!

Country is creaking and groaning under the load of uneducated, what you do for the youth is amazing.
There are some large distributors in the Cape, Capetonian's are known for their generosity, perhaps approaching some may be able to assist in this venture.
Thank you Lady Joan, we have to look at the children's futures.
I have already thrown a few stones in the bush here and we will see what appears.
Blessings!

This is the first time that I am trying something new in a genuine effort to increase our upvotes. I will still have to learn a few things, such as how to place post footers, as I cannot copy and paste our existing ones. But father time will fix all.
Blessings!
I know this is most likely an automated reply, but it would be great if the Esteem App team could maybe assist with this project that is mentioned in this post
