Like a déjà vu once more, I write again! It is that time of the week. Friday. The last day of the working week and the first day of the weekend. So, let's take a moment together, just a minute, or two to check out a deserving charity. All proceeds from this post will go to @SchoolForSDG4, created by @azizbd, to help host a weekly fruit program and/or provide educational materials for the kids.
Here is a recent post from @azizbd
This week the kids started attending school again and fruit program was on! The chosen fruit snack was a sack of oranges, the vitamin C rich fruits that make and keeps us all healthy. I am happy to hear that all of the kids are kept in the best conditions possible and are moving forward with their studies, to infinity and further!
Another great development is that STEEM and SBD prices are not going down, on the contrary, they are shooting up and staying stable (except when BTC moves drastically) and that means much more income for the school. It also means that the emergency/future fund of the charity is growing and one day we might actually see a school building built with the help of steemit.
On not so great note, @Azizbd Visa to go to Thailand was rejected so he has to stay in Bangladesh instead of going and improving his knowledge abroad. The light side of this is that he can stay with the kids but I still feel sad for him not being able to travel to other places in the world at the moment. Nonetheless, there is another soothing aspect of the situation and that is that he is going to save some money skipping the trip and I hope that is at least a small consolation.
Back to the good things! I have been mentioning @GirlBeforeMirror a lot(you should definitely check out this kind souls page) and the reason for that is that she has helped, not only the kids in our charity school but also the Women Empowerment project, with some generous donations. She sponsored a share allocation program to the women in the program and, the money that wasn't gifted to them(the leftovers), is going to go towards buying a new sewing machine for the project. Isn't that awesome? She is helping, not by giving others fish to eat for a day, but by showing how to catch those fishes so they can eat for life!
The progress of the steemit platform and generosity of those around has helped this amazing project a lot and I hope it is going to continue doing just that. It is truly true what @alexpmorris says. You come for the money but you stay for the community. Cheers to that and here is to a long and healthy life of this amazing platform!
All the pictures are recent and provided by @azizbd, any questions about the project can be resolved with him, he will be happy to answer any questions if you are interested to help this project and have any idea about how to make it better. Heck, he will even get up at 4 AM in the morning just to talk to somebody about ideas. Here is a link to his steemit chat: https://steemit.chat/direct/azizbd
If you would like to contribute by making a post, you can contact Mohammed ( @azizbd ) and he will provide pictures for you, anyone spreading the word is welcome. The income from the post can be sent to @schoolforsdg4, if you think you deserve any Steem for your hard work making a post, keep a dime, even a small donation from your posts means a lot to those kids.
If you have any Steem to spare, donations are welcome. @schoolforsdg4 is where you want to send them.
If you can't spare any Steem, because I know everybody has their lives to live and expenses needed to be covered, a simple upvote is very much appreciated, a resteem is encouraged. :)
As I said, all income from this post will go towards the project, my rewards are set to 50/50 payout, but I am always able to find the SBD my posts make, so I will be able to forward all income from this post to @schoolforsdg4.
Wishing you wonderful holidays,
Linda
