AID VENEZUELA | Why delegate to us?
The project continues to grow and we make the greatest effort to obtain, analyze and program ourselves to support in many more cases that are presented to us at the national level, trying to give support as far as our capacity allows.
Since we started, we have focused on working hand in hand with @fundition, where donations have been more constant. Also our almost daily publications have allowed us a greater growth of our SP as well as having STEEM/SBD reserve to support more specific cases in the region, seeking to be a self-sustainable project.
In this short time we have received slow delegations from several users, which has allowed us a total of 1,631 SP extra to the account, for a total of 1,772 SP, for which we thank again @r2cornell, @juliakponsford, @ajorundon, @alexvanaken and @scilwa for their delegations.
Which leads to the question, what have we been doing with this SP as it is not a curation project?
Having as answer:
a._ Voting our own content.
b._ Selling our vote to the whitelist of smartsteem.
In the second case this action has been very important motivated to allow us to obtain rewards in STEEM/SBD (self-sustainability), as well as the passive growth of our SP and that of the delegates. Receiving a daily estimate of 0.3 STEEM and 0.2 SBD, which, although it seems little to many external users, in Venezuela is a help that a week can become a larger amount and serve to buy some kind of input for a person or family affected by the crisis that the country is experiencing.
Food For life:
As you know, the project currently has a fundamental base that is the Food for life program, which is responsible for providing those communities of low resources that present severe and moderate cases of malnutrition with a food sustenance that serves as a means to face this crisis, where children and older adults have been the most affected because they do not have the resources to get ahead.
In this sense, we have already completed two weeks of this program, whose investment represented a total of $180 per week, or $360 for 2 weeks where the sponsors who supported the cause witnessed the situation of one of so many communities where more than 80 people were benefited, noting the work and effort of the project to provide as much food as possible to that community, always providing updates on the activities through our blog.
Importance of delegating:
Now, the project is about to launch its next program to serve new communities, however, we have already had particular cases of babies, children and elderly people with cases of extreme malnutrition that unfortunately we could not attend to because we do not have the necessary resources. This is where we call on the delegation, through smartsteem, to be able to obtain more STEEM/SBD that will allow us to self-manage more cases in the country and be able to focus on more humanitarian crisis situations.
Goal set:
As we said before, we have a total of 1772 SP, receiving an estimated total of 0.3 STEEM and 0.2 SBD per day.
We want to increase this figure, setting the goal of obtaining a larger or equal delegation: 50,000 SP, which would give an estimate of 21.25 STEEM per day + curation rewards.
What do we want to do with the income when we reach the goal?
- Address specific cases of malnutrition of all ages.
- Extend the weeks of the Food for Life program.
- Visiting and supporting hospitals with supplies.
- Power up the project.
How much does 21 STEEM represent in Venezuela?
The food basket is estimated at Bs.S 514,900.55, the equivalent of $139.

The minimum monthly salary that a Venezuelan earns is 19,800 Bs.S, the equivalent of $5.
21 STEEM is equivalent to two minimum monthly salaries.
How do you calculate STEEM to Bs.S?
Making use of Orinoco.io, which is a national exchange house with daily updates according to the dollar price of the day in the country.
What other ways can I collaborate?
Sending STEEM/SBD to the project.
Sending @steembasicincome to the project.
Spreading the information in the blockchain and social networks.
Talking with friends and neighbors in your country to support the project.
Creating artistic content that you want to donate to be published in the project. (Send to our email [email protected]).
Publish your content on @steempeak and add us as beneficiaries.
Send cards or packs of @steemmonsters to our project.
Is there a way to verify the situation in Venezuela?
If you only keep what the media say, you will get what a small part wants to see.
To keep informed of the situation in Venezuela it is preferable to go to twitter or instagram and follow accounts such as: venezuelalucha, ipaniza, carlaangola, as well as the tag: #venezuela in both networks.
I have read that countries have sent humanitarian aid to Venezuela. Why do you do this?
For several months now, many countries have joined the initiative to send supplies to Venezuela, however, those supplies have been stopped by the government of Nicolas Maduro, alleging that there is no crisis in the country and demanding that the border military forces do not allow the entry of such aid which has made it difficult to support mainly the nation's hospitals.
Given that this problem continues to occur, we cannot stand idly by while many more people continue to suffer. Crypto aid has become the most reliable, easiest and quickest way to support Venezuelan communities, since it cannot be controlled by the state and its transit is free.
I understand. What should I do now?

Let us hope that donations keep coming. When you delegate SP you can get it back anytime you need it.
When using SBI (steembasicincome) what ever units are given to aid.venezuela the giver receives the same amount in there account. This adds up significantly overtime. I am receiving a sizable upvote from SBI...It has prompted me to do more than one post per week.
whether using SBI or delegations even small amounts will add up. Let us say that 1,000 users send 1 unit through SBI...1000 units will help tremendously.
We appreciate all the support and effort you have given to this project. We are certain that we will be able to continue supporting many more communities within the country and more in this crisis that is worsening day by day.
Thank you for being a person who trusted us from the beginning. From all the team, thank you very much Mr. Cornell. ♥
Thanks for sharing this post..
I like it this post..
Highly rEsteemed!
Good project. More to come. Thanks
thanks @ajorundon ♥
Hope our voice can be hear in all the chain!
I would highly suggest delegating to @OCDB. All the curation rewards and bids get sent back to the delegators and it works on zero profit. This means it's likely the most profitable bot to delegate to.
the problem is that we don't have a big owner sp and OCDB don't work with vote selling :/
wasn't it just the US supplies that were stopped?
Colombia and Brazil aid too...
Actually Russia have made a donation that have enter the country but nobody know what exactly that aid is. Government say that is medicines but, how exactly you true a corrupt government? Why the content of the box can't be recorded? Where exactly are those medicines? Hospitals Still Without Resources..
I would look a bit closer, tracking those resources. Maybe your government is not the reason for this lack of resources.
Nicolás Maduro's government has mismanaged the country. Inflation continues to grow, expropriations of private companies ended up bankrupting them, national production declined too much in more than 20 years of "revolution".
In addition, millions of dollars have been lost in the creation of infrastructures and other national systems that didn't work. In their pockets. It is enough to read a little about the Odebrecht Case in Venezuela, the tocoma dam, the second bridge over Lake Maracaibo, the sanitation of the guaire river, among many other projects that the government has implemented and that soon end without being completed and mysteriously the managers emigrate and are rich in other countries.
All this without counting the millions of dollars in personal accounts of public officials outside the country.
I think that to say that "the government" is not responsible for this lack of resources is a little out of place.
Apart from the case of the humanitarian aid that has been trying to enter has been paralyzed by the simple fact of fearing a military intervention on the part of the United States. This is completely irrational considering Russia's interference with military forces in the country.
Thank you for your information!
I do not think that there is a government on this planet that is not exactly as corrupt as you describe Venezuela's. The country I live in, Austria, has a reputation for being straight, modern and just. In reality corruption here is absolutely mad (and besides this surveillance is growing shockingly)!
Venezuela suffers from sanctions; no country that ever was sanctioned by its main trade partners did/could develop. And it's always the government that is blamed for it. It is an interesting mechanism for those who like to play the power game.
Sorry but the existing sanctions are applied to Venezuelan officials, not to the country as such.
The government has been in power for more than 20 years. These sanctions began at the end of 2015 and inflation had already increased exponentially, there were no more resources and the country was already very bad. A lot of money had been sent to Cuba, Bolivia, Russia, China. Oil was given, gold was given, the mining arc was destroyed as payment to China and while the country was empoverishing, were former government leaders giving themselves luxuries abroad?
Freezing an official's accounts or assets is something very separate from freezing a country's assets.

I see, and thanks for shedding light on this. So I guess the sanctions are not connected to e.g. the unfinished projects.
I am asking these questions as I've heard many different versions about the situation in Venezuela. Till appr. 6 months ago there was a split in opinions: The people on the lower end of the society seemed to be quite fine, while the middle-upper class seemed to be quite unhappy. It seems that the shortages grew rapidly in those last 6 months, and now also the 'lower class' seems to be concerned.
The threat of an US invasion seems to be quite real; Russia's presence might be just another reason.
Government officials usually spend the worst crisis in luxury. This unjustice is the same almost everywhere.
Just trying to get a picture.
@zaxan, I would be very interested in your opinion on this video:

If 28min. are too long, just the first 5 already raise interesting questions and are also in contrast to what you wrote above.
