A PLAN TO EXECUTE FIRST WORLDSMILE PROJECT IN NIGERIA WITH MY TEAM|| FIRST REPORT OF THE PROGRESS [ 15TH FEBRUARY, 2022] || BY @ubongudofot

Note : 50% of this post payout is for world smile project program (@worldsmile)

Hello great donators and lovers of charity, it is my pleasure to welcome you again to my blog. Today is 15th February 2022 and it’s another time for charity. It is about the supplying of educational materials to students who are less privileged and it has already started.

Following the recent publication, I published here which is entitled:#CHARITY|| DONATING 40 DOZENS OF EDUCATIONAL WRITING MATERIALS TO STUDENTS IN MY AREA.

I explained what charity is. And we all know what World smile projects are all about, as a reminder, I will like to say a little about the @worldsmile project.

The world smile project is organized with the aim of providing assistance to folks and communities around the globe, this is not just to provide assistance casually but to the most affected especially when people are deeply in need when people are facing a tough situation like a natural disaster or other calamity befalling them. We are also aware of the good deeds that have been done by the world smile project in Pakistan, Indonesia, Venezuela, and the Philippines. Hopefully, this project benefit will be extended to my country Nigeria very soon.

Before now, I do carry out charity activities within my own reach or sometimes with friends who have suchlike minds. A few weeks ago, we engage in such activities, sponsored by ourselves. You can read about such acts in my publication which I introduced earlier.

But during this process, I found out that there are larger needs from individuals of which we were not even aware and it becomes heartbroken seeing other mankind in such circumstances. unfortunately, our resources are limited, whereas, these ones needs are so numerous and very important to give attention to, even if it’s 1/3 of their needs is given attention to, that will go a very long way in their lives.

One of such needs is the area of education. Education is one of the most important keys that lead to civilization and as such when these needs are neglected it becomes a problem for society. Sadly, many young folks have been deprived of the quality education they would have received now that they are young due to lack of assistance at least at the elementary level, they may become wild tomorrow and really not offer anything to society.
Isn’t that enough reason to support @worldsmile projects knowing very well that they used their donated fund judiciously, especially assisting in such a situation which I have mentioned above?

The truth is that education at the elementary level is free in Nigeria, unfortunately, most parents/guidance can’t afford to buy most of these educational materials like writing materials. Most students go to schools without writing materials. And so, there is a greater need to assist these once.

Well, in other to execute such good plans, I had a long time ago formed a team and I arranged for a meet up with my team members last week as it has become our custom. And the essence of this meet-up was to discuss how we can assist in this project of providing educational materials to the less privileged in schools around our environment through the assistance of the world smile.

I have already drawn the map of how I and my team will carry out these projects in different locations around the country. I and my team members who are made up of 8 devoted steemians are very much ready to work with the world smile in other to accomplish these charity deeds. you may wish to meet some of my team members like @benton3, @eliany, @goodybest, @iddy, @adylinah, @chiomzy810, and @ddwosky these ones are skilled and experienced in so many areas both health, education, finance, and they are highly cooperated and devoted. I always encourage my team members to donate part of their payout to @worldsmile in other to encourage the activities of the charity. And many of them do respond to that, always.

I am still working on adding more devoted steemians to my team within the country in other to run a smooth project in my country.
I organized another meetup yesterday which was the 14th of February,2022 with my team members most of them were able to make it, while others couldn’t make it due to circumstances beyond their control. But in the end, I was able to call each of those who were not around on phone to give them an update. And I am still going to drop the update in a written form on our WhatsApp group which is already active. Below is the screenshot of our group.

Our WhatsApp Group

Our first plan to proceed on this project was successful today as we visit one community school that really has a need The school we visited today was ST. PETER’S(RCM)PRIMARY SCHOOL Mbiabong Anyanya, Uyo, Nigeria.

WHAT ARE THEIR NEEDS?

Lack of writing Materials has already become one of the challenges faced in the country.
When I asked how many students are in the school, the headteacher said that the total number of students is 900 students.
So, I had a good talk with the headteacher with members of my team @benton3 and @eliany, after that, we had some good moments with the students. And trust me, they are much and really needed help. Donating writing materials will be a great deal for this school.

PHOTO GALLARY OF THE STUDENTS AND OUR TEAM

The following are the types of educational materials needed and their prices in steem, SDB, Trons and in our country currency. Donating to half of the students will be a great impact on them. Materials like: Exercise book, pen, pencil, Eraser, and Mathematical sets.

But for a start, this school really needs just Exercise books and a pen, that would be very much okay for them now. And going on my market survey on how much these items cost in the market and with the assistance of my team members who also confirmed in their various locations the uniqueness of that price, I come up with this moderate analysis of the survey. My country’s currency is Naira.

Note that the exchange rate below is based on the current price of steem and SBD respectively as at the time this report was composed Using Coinmarketcap. com

• A brief description of the content above:
• 168 dozens of exercise books contain 2016 copies of the exercise books.
• 1 packet of the pen contains 50 pieces of the pen.
• 1 box of pencils contains 12 dozens which amounts to 144 pieces of pencil.

PROPOSE NEEDED ITEMS AND QUANTITY

---

• Since we are looking at supporting at least 400 students. This will create a huge impact and a great relief to these ones.
  Here is a description of the above content and its benefits: 168 dozens of Exercise books which is about 2016 copies of exercise books would benefit 400 students, such that, each of them will receive 5 copies.

• A packet of Writing Pen contains 50 pieces, so for the 8 packets, it will contain 400 pieces of the pen, which means that each student would benefit from receiving 1 pen which is enough for a student.

• A box of pencils contains 12 dozens of pencils which amounts to 144 pencils. Only 144 students will benefit from this. The reason is that few classes use many pencils, whereas, the majority don’t.

So, with this analysis, you will agree with me that this project is a good one that can really create an impact on humanity.
Once this project is done, We would focus on another school to render this assistance.

HOW CAN YOU BE OF ASSISTANCE TO THIS?

• Set part of your payout to support @worldsmile and keep doing donations. This will help in carrying out this huge project and some that are in other parts of the world.

There are still more projects awaiting. With proper coordination with my team which is already in place and the cooperation of all the devoted steemians around the globe who believes in act of kindness, we would achieve this together. We would always work hand in hand with the international team which is always ever ready to reach out to the needy.

I have a lot of plans in stuck which I will unveil gradually here on how our team is made up and the role of each one.
Until then, please let’s digest this one for now while waiting for the other updates because I would be dropping often here.

Stay Safe and be in Peace!!
