RE: Steemit and Charity - Can We Change The World With An Upvote?
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.
Since you literally go on endlessly, just stop now. You and I both know your arrogant little history on this platform and why you have few places left you are welcome. Don't make it worse for youself by being a little know it all without any information about what we specifically do or where. Just shut up LimaBeing, every mod in every community is SO over you. We talk. I know this. Unless you founded it, you've been banned from it.
