Share Your World contest

One of the things that excite me the most about Steemit is the opportunity to engage with people from all over the world. Somebody once said:

You will find that I am just like you. And you will find that I am nothing like you.

I want to use this opportunity to find out about your world.

You can find the first two contests here

The winners were announced here.

The current contest posed the following question.

Topic

The topic is twofold this time. Please include both aspects in your post.

Tell us what the greatest challenge is that your country/ region / cultural group/area where you are currently living is facing in 2018. (It can be anything but give us some detail. Not just a one-word description like 'poverty'.)
Now tell us why or how you think your people will survive or overcome their challenges. Describe an aspect of who they are that will enable them to be successful. (I'm not looking for socio-economic or political solutions. I want to hear who your people are.)

Please share your world with us! We all look forward to reading your views and perspectives.

There were 13 entries once again. I am so grateful for everyone's participation. It was a great experience to read your posts as you shared your worlds. Thank you!

If you are new to this contest you can get the post with all the links here.

Share Your World Contest #3

@mmunited, @trituratusmiedos, @isabelpena, @socialmediaseo, @charjaim, @pedroelec, @rjoshicool, @machiqui63, @edwardsun55, @hairyfairy, @fitinfun, @joanstewart and @mimismartypants participated and each receives one share of @steembasicincome.

Thank you, guys. You are great! Here is a record of the payment.

The winners!

I promised three participants will receive 5 shares of @steembasic income each. I am going to make that four participants otherwise I will spend the rest of the day debating with myself. Here they are!

1. The challenge of being a mother in Venezuela - @machiqui63

This lady inspired me with her can-do attitude and faith. This contest has received great support from bloggers from Venezuela. I am both in awe of the immense challenges they face there and the fortitude and national pride of the people. @machiqui63 gives great advice to everyone and inspires as a mother. You children are privileged to have you as their mom!

2. Share Your World Competition Entry - @socialmediaseo

I am sure that everyone reading here is aware of Brexit. The world is changing once again and we all wonder what the implications will be. I find European politics fascinating and incomprehensible. @socialmediaseo gives some perspective while not losing sight of the fact that there are countries in the midst of crises that are way more serious or dire. The stiff upper lip of the Brits made me smile and reminded me of Jane Austin's characters.

3. Obesity is the Worst Problem in the US - @fitinfun

This lady inspires me on a nearly daily basis. I see her enter many contests and am convinced that she wins just about all of them as she does things at a higher standard than most. She is on a mission to fight obesity and adds value to people's lives in every topic she posts on. The advice she gives in her entry she lives by herself. @fitinfun is the real thing and you should follow her if you do not do so already.

4. Share Your World Contest #3 - @mimismartypants

@mimismartypants had an unfair advantage in this contest but through no fault of her own. We are from the same country and she addressed something that fills my own nightmares. Child and human trafficking is a worldwide reality but it upsets me that it is happening on my doorstep. I hope you share her post and do your bit to create greater awareness. Thank you @mimismartypants!

Congratulations to the winners!
Payment has been made to @steembasicincome and you should see their vote or increased vote come through within the next seven days.

Please keep an eye out for my next contest. It will be the last in this series and I would love if you can be a part of it.
