RE: Introducing "Dreams of the Ocean" 🐋 The First Steem-backed Charity Project That Supports Kids Through Watersports Activities
That's an interesting question and I talked about it with my local partner, the Red Cross. Before starting the events we had a long meeting where we evaluated different possible activities. I told them that I'd love to do something with watersports since this is my field of interest and since I know how powerful the Ocean is. It may not solve every problem, but it definitely helps to make people feel better. The Red Cross fully agreed. They said, that physical activity may be as important as providing food to them. Their social environment is very restrictive, so they ususally don't have the opportunity to leave home and enjoy nature.
So to answer your question: yes, we believe that these activities deserve charity. But of course, everybody is completely free to support us or support other institutions that are merely focussing on food supply and medical help. I think you can't ever do enough charity :-)
Charity is charity as long as its done with a pure heart and without the intention of making a direct profit from it. Yes its a good cause to motivate kids in doing some sports which is helpful for their health. I totally understand after you replied me here, now I think when more and more people fall in love with the ocean, eventually it is helping humanity as a whole. I bet in the ancient time when people would move stocks using horses and carts were very time consuming and limited in quantity, but because some people fell in love with the sea, large ships and containers are build and with that now we can deliver thousand tons of supply from one place to another far away place. Yes now I understand, we have this opportunity to send food or medicine using sea route at a very low cost. And yes we have more food available for us under the sea itself.
