RE: Observing Venezuela: The start of a block chain observatory. (2018 May 06)

in #venezuela6 years ago (edited)

This is just plain awesome and I am very humbled and thankful for your thoughts. I know this is a struggling and really hard scenario for us venezuelans. But as you both have already mentioned, I support the motion that this is not an easy just to donate money thing. We need to as a community, or as leaders start making the right ammount of impact first, so we can actually set help in motion.

I feel the same way about charities than you guys. It's difficult to explain in words, but when you give a couple of bucks or medicines to a sick person, it doesn't mean that you're going to help cure him/her. But there is also the politics/government issue, where they are definitely stealing our country funds and resources to manage as they will. That also happens with charities, and even if they not admit it, they're playing a similiar role while managing funds to help only where they can and think money should go. This has always been a problem for me, because I have never gotten any help in our outside this country. Well, not until I joined steemit, three months ago.

I can write all of this in one post, but I'm going to need help. This is not my first language, and I have already started to make posts about my plans, method and what I think could be a great start and more than that, an example for people to follow, if we want to really make a difference through this crisis.

I've been growing plants for almost ten years now, and I mention this because after I joined steemit, I had to change the way I've been working for two reasons. First one being the economics and second the community's support. What I do is to donate plants instead of selling them to garden shops, because water supply has become a real problem for years, caused people to stop planting, caring about the environment and that has brought several health problems, especially when it comes to babies and kids. I try to go to schools, colleges, malls and try to donate and offer my help, without getting any because people don't really want to do that.

This is why I am planning to go big now. My entire region is having a huge drought, where we have had only two rain seasons in the last 5 6 years. Food is brought from a mountain region, but now people cannot afford it and the conditions are getting worst every day. This is a really hard thing to witness, I will try to document everything into video and photos, at the risk of my own security.

What I aim to do now is to work along men and women that I know have been without a job for a long time. I keep seeing engineers, overall profesionals who cannot even afford to work because transportation prices are too high and the workplace doesn't pay even 1 steem as a minimum wage. I on the other way have been producing a lot and working in steemit and have earned dozens times more than a regular job here. And that is why I decided to start helping people that want to work with me. Not for me, let me point that out very clearly. I have the experience and knowledge to produce tons of food, and to distribute it fairly among the communities nearby. And soon I will continue to do so in a nationwide level. I just need to continue to grow and I will reach more people as I follow my path, I know that I will pay a lot of people and they will earn a lot more working and telling their story and how they found steemit to make a difference into how we do and run things. @creativetruth has helped me a lot and maybe he could share his vision and thoughts on this subject matter with us too.

I'm not trying to sell this as a steemit giveaway, suscription promo or anything like that. I just want to help people to earn money fairly, while we grow the food that we're gonna be eating over the next years to come, not to mention the ammount of good we will be providing to the environment, while cooling temperatures and showing a greater water management. There are ways to use a lot of not drinking water that is being wasted atm to produce from shade, temperature dropping, oxygen to rains. And I learned that the best way to inspire people here, is to pay them. It sounds awful, but it's the truth. No one here is going to help me grow tons of food if I don't pay them. That's where the charity must stop. And I will make sure that every one earns his/her fair share as long as they contribute even on small things. I have learnt the hard way how one should lead, and how to never become a dictator. I know that I will make change happen, not only in my region, but the entire country, and worlwide too. I am a nature's worker and my plan is to teach how we will survive climate change and evolve from this situation in a nutritional and healthier way.
