It has been 15 weeks(Ahem, 3 months) since I first started writing for this charity and I am happy that I did as the growth has been amazing! 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. Together we have done so much! The first campaign to provide the kids with fruits every week, at least once a week, has been continuously funded by the support of wonderful steemians.
We have allocated school bags to kids and there have been gifts going to Bangladesh all the way from USA. And let's not forget about the latest development, the campain for a new laptop that has provided the school with a new device to guarantee higher quality video and audio education.
I do not know if it is just me, but I feel like every week there are more and more smiling faces in the photos I receive from @azizbd. I would like to think that the kids are smiling more, not just because of the support we send them, but also, because they feel like they are not alone. We have helped so much and we can help more, according to what we feel is right. I know there are thousands and even millions of kids, in Bangladesh alone, that do not have the best circumstances around them, but if we can help at least fifty of them, maybe those fifty will help the next hundred!
Emon taking and washing an apple
Your help is keeping kids like Al-Amin at school(the boy who had to leave school to work in the market for 10 hours a day and 25 dollar pay monthly) Now he is back at school, because of how stubborn(in a good way) @azizbd is and because our donations are helping his family to survive. The amount that is little to us, is huge to those children, they live in a different world from what we live in, even though we share the same planet.
AHadul, Airin and Murad eating apples
This week the kids were provided with apples through the weekly fruit program. They seem as excited about the fruits as I usually get when I get a juicy, amazing apple. I think last weeks sweets reminded them that fruits are still the best and most delicious things ever! Not sure kids minds work like that, but I am going with it, because those faces are happeeeyy. :D
Another great development is that @ADSactly has posted an article on behalf of @SchoolForSDG as well and they are bringing the earnings of the post to the project! So there is another huge part of the steemit community that is sharing their love with the little ones and adding to give the kids a chance for a better future.
And a last photo here, to show you that there are not only fun and food going around the school, the little ones are getting educated and are moving forward on development of their brilliant minds. Knowledge gets acquired and love spread. As always, thank you for everything, and each deed helps, no matter how big or small!
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 his 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 part, 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 needing 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.
Have a good day, week and life,
Linda
