Hey again steemitizens
YouAreHOPE Townhall will be back on the air tonight at 8pm EST/ 12am UTC but first, Please allow me to bring you to tears over what YOU steemians and our community can do together!
I owe you a ton of posts from my six country world circumnavigation steem promotional tour of the past two weeks, and I've missed you all. Those stories will come out with the photography and video over the coming week or two ahead.
Also, I'll also be resuming the Steemitizens of Steem show on Sunday as well, and I can't wait to talk with you all again!
BUT FIRST BEFORE ANY OF THAT, YOU NEED TO SEE THIS LATEST AGENT OF HOPE UPDATE
I just received this report from our latest communal effort in Nigeria via @Aydayodeji and you won't believe what he was able to do down there with the generous help of you, dear steemitizen friends.
Please allow me to make you shed tears. The @YouAreHOPE Foundation has just completed it's largest piece of work to date, with the aid and direction of a most amazing young man from Nigeria, named @aydayodeji.
We've done a lot this past 5 months with the steemitizens around the world...
We've fed hundreds of orphans with thousands of kilograms of staple foods in multiple countries across Africa, Latin america, and the Philippines, we've provided hundreds of children with book bags and school supplies in the most devastated of economies in sub-Saharan Africa, we've provided seeds to the hurricane devastated farmers in Puerto Rico, we've funded wells in Sri Lanka during a massive drought, sent aid after the volcano last month in Indonesia and many other things that still seem surreal to have happened on my watch...
but we've never done anything like this before.
This barely tells the whole story, but the whole story would break your brain cells down into slobbering mush.
When we got word a baby had died of malaria here and his mother was on the verge of death still as well, while the entire flooded village remained at risk from more of the same, we went to work, I raised about $1000 usd in steem currency and got it to my brother "Aydayodeji" in Nigeria and he got busy with his friends and family to get this place sorted out.
Mosquito netting for the homes, fumigating the entire village for malaria laden mosquito mitigation, medicines for the sick and vaccines for those yet unaffected, and the ditches, oh lord the dirt they moved.
Check this latest YouAreHOPE Agent of HOPE update out. PLEASE!
The thought of avoiding another case of losing a child to malaria gave me the motivation I needed.The whole clean up opened my eyes to so many societal problems we overlook. A man approached me and offered to help pack the dirt for any amount so he could feed himself, this brought tears to my eyes before I could say jack he already took the wheelbarrow. - @aydayodeji

^^^ SHOW THAT POST ALL OF YOUR LOVE - THIS MAN IS SO SELFLESS AND FULL OF HEART AND COURAGE AND NO ONE DESERVES THE ACCOLADES OF THIS COMMUNITY MORE THAN HIM TODAY! ^^^
We spent a lot of time discussing this and there was a lot of tension and fear going in...
But as they say in Ghana - Bibia Be Ye Ye!!!! (Everything will work out!) and it did!
I am so proud of you @aydayodeji! I am humbled, and so very proud to be allowed by the grace of God to know you and call you brother and friend.
