RE: Steemit and Charity - Can We Change The World With An Upvote?
Excellent post, through @youarehope we can all support charitable works throughout the world with very little cost to ourselves.
You maybe should discuss with @tarc run by @rhondak about supporting dog charities as she runs a rescue in her local area and might have some advice on what you can do.
Thank you @c0ff33a! That is a great idea :) I have had a few thoughts on it in the past but i have always shelved them for another day. Perhaps it is time to get those ideas back out! :D
Hi new friend, I happen to be the guy who created the charity @c0ff33a is mentioning, and in even more serendipity, my witness partner is the one with the dog rescue. We can give you any info you may be curious about, and you already know where to find me :D
And I did my bit tonight - via email, because she works two jobs, and I can't just random her at night, but I pitched the ball...
Haha this is getting stranger by the minute! xD Glad you did your part, I am going to do mine later today ;)
wait through you are hope we can support ALL charitable works throught the world>> really?
OK, good point I was being wildly general when I made that comment. What I meant is if you give money to @youarehope they use it to contribute to many needed causes throughout the world - it might only be tiny amounts to each but every little helps.
Much as I would like it to happen, I don't believe @youarehope can solve all the worlds problems or that can it can provide funds to every single charity group around the world - although we can always "hope"
We have helped thousands of people in nearly a dozen countries so far, but the missions vary each time in what we do there. So perhaps "many kinds of charitable works"? :)
Well idk mayb you figured out an algorithm for judging the worlds charities and can distribute funds to them evenly? NO? get on it . :P p.s. I'm gonna be starting a fundraiser soon to finish my work in San Marcos, Guatemala. There is a school there with a LOT of potential for raising attention to indigenous Mayans esp artists/musicians/folkloric theater.. ANy chance that is even remotely applicable?
musicians and people with costumes and stage props, don't sound like they are starving to death, and dying in their country at a 30% rate under a dictator, so probably not.
Its all relative. Although, I promise that many of the people in Nigeria are not starving to death, nor are they living under a dictator. Nigeria is a Democracy which is led by indigenous people. IN fact I studied their independence by reading a great Nigerian author, Chinua Echebe. Since long before I went on my first cultural exchange trip in 2012, I learned from my African classmates (:O musicians that aren't starving but still need a lot of help!) that there are many people who do not like charitable organizations or their approach to solving the problems of poverty which have arisen as a result of colonialist capitolism, european occupation and rule, and of course the resulting systematic racism that allows many Europeans to own major import/export companies that oppress indigenous craftsman as well as indigenous artists and glean profits from their good work while subsiding on a "middle income" that most Americans would consider dire poverty.
It actually highly expressed by many indigenous activists and community organizers in wealthy yet-still 3rd world countries like Nigeria, Kenya, South Africa, and Even Guatemala that giving indigenous people assistance to find work using their own beautiful culture and being their own boss is WAY more successful than dropping dollars on "starving" people who are being "oppressed" by dictators. But thanks for being mean and narcissistic as usual. :) keep on with that good energy. You'll heal the world in no time!
We do work in 12 countries, providing for orphans and adults without food or hygiene or clothing.
If you wanna tell me your guy who has a guitar and health to play it, needs it worse, keep on living in your delusional world.
You'll be banned from most communities in no time. Oh ... too late.
