Let me start off by clarifying that all proceeds from this post will go to @schoolforsdg4. I am not a big fish, that is for sure, but as @azizbd, the creator of the program, told me yesterday, "it doesn't matter how big you are, what matters is that you are helping and contributing in any way, it is greatly appreciated". So, here I am.

My reason for taking part in this project is simple, I love kids and I think they deserve the best in life. They are the future of this world and the next leaders, scientists and doctors. They are the next workers, teachers and dreamers. And most of all, they are helpless without the help from us, the grownups. We are the providers and we are the shapers of the future for those little ones, so lets shape it better, so the kids now can be better adults than we ever were.

Now about the program. It is a weekly fruit program for unprivileged kids located in Gashitula, Sylhet, Bangladesh. The creator of the program @azizbd is the provider of those fruits and sometimes he pays out of his own pocket so these kids can have a fruit snack once a week. Now, this is a part of the world where some kids have to leave school to work more than 10 hours a day for 25 dollars a months. And those are really kids doing the work, not teenagers, but boys and girls under 10 years. This fact alone brings tears to my eyes and that is the reason I have to support this project.

And here is a video from the most recent fruit snack for the kids.
All of those kids have names and stories, all of them deserve a life and childhood, that is why I support this project.
All the pictures are provided by @azizbd, any questions about the project can be resolved with him, he is kind man that I have had privilege to talk to on Discord, he will be happy to answer 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 Aziz 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 was recently blessed to being noticed and one of my posts has become quite popular. The payout from this post is in 5 days and that is where I will take the money for @schoolforsdg4. In addition from earnings from this post I am going to donate 5SBD for the fruit program, because I have been given a lot lately and therefore can afford and want to give back to the community, especially to a worthy cause.
Update: 2 days ago (25/07/2017) another sttemian made a post for this same charity, head over and check it out at @schamangerbert/crowdfunding-campaign-fruits-program
I hope all of you reading have a great day, week and life,
