Support Nepal - support a charity minded Steemian

Hi guys, thanks for all that helped supporting charity cases and people in need during the last three weeks. In Week 4 of Charity Weekly I would like to help a guy the core Steemians will probably meet at Steemfest - please check out the profile and work of @abh12345.

All liquid SBDs this posts generates will be transferred to him accordingly. Feel free to donate to him or consider at least some Upvotes or Resteems. He will for sure discuss some ideas in Lisbon soon with you guys anyway!

Here a quote from one of his posts - hope cheetah is not minding that one (The following is a quote summary):

"For most of the past year, the thoughts of doing some volunteer work in Nepal has been on my mind, and having recently finished an I.T. contract at the United Nations in Spain, I'm now free from the 9-5 grind and ready to pursue something that holds more meaning. This would be to offer my time and skills in a place where I would see a direct impact.
Working for one of the world's biggest 'charities' sounds great, but sitting behind a desk supporting the systems that support the people in offices, who support the people on the ground, who bring aid to the people in need, just felt a little too far from the action to me.

Last year, my girlfriend ( @osm0sis ) spent some time at a Children's Home in Nepal, and the passion in which she describes it has made me interested and eager to do the same. This sounds like a great way to have a positive impact on people's lives and may indeed be something that could fill my soul with joy and satisfaction in that i'd been useful during my time here on earth.

So as it stands, this November we will be heading to this children's home to continue and expand on the work Sylvia and other kind volunteers have done in donating their own skills, time, and funds."

What is CharityWeekly again?

It is just a little new tag and initiative I try to handle every week - we are just beginning. Hope to get the big guns behind this tag like @pharesim or @nextgencrypto who already showed their huge support.

Suggest others I can support for Week 4 and later of #charityweekly

For now we could donate and support @papilloncharity @sergiomendes @travelwithus @charityproject - check their profiles for more and help directly. Still for payout is the current support post for @rhondak.

I am sure a lot other charity initiatives are here we can help - or people in need. Let me know proven cases in the comments. I will check them before promoting or donating. Let us help others to be able to help.

I think Steemit needs some sort of formal process to verify charities, as Tsu did. That may involve some paperwork, but people are more likely to donate if they have some indication that it is legitimate. I hope this is somewhere on the to-do list. Meanwhile charity accounts should at least be linked to from their official web sites. Smaller organisations may need a trusted party to validate them. Of course I trust you.

Totally agree and I will do a #discussion post about this - asking what can be done and what the community thinks - I heard some opinions from users that people tend to dislike charities - if it is just because of potential scammers a process can be implemented. However we will see - hope some thing will happen soon. Thanks for commenting @steevc - am running to Oktoberfest now.

I would hope that those benefitting from Steemit would be considering donating some of their profits to charity. Just a few votes from whales could do so much good. This would also be great publicity for Steemit.

Enjoy your beer. Oktoberfest in September? :)

That would be ideal - agreed in all point! Oktoberfest is in September every year simply as of the weather - more here (Source: Oktoberfest.de):

Why does the Oktoberfest start in September?

The original horse-race was an event that only took one day. Over the decades, as the horse-rave had disappeared, the Oktoberfest got longer and longer, until it lasted two weeks, as it does today. However, it is not uncommon in Bavaria for the weather to become quite cold in the middle of Oktober and there can even be snow. To avoid a snowy Oktoberfest, the decision was made to start the Oktoberfest earlier, usually some time around the beginning of the fourth week of September.

Thanks for your comments, we are embarrassed that we didn't see the post until now.

As @uwelang says, you can have a chat with us at Steemfest regarding the details of our Volunteer work, and perhaps help with ideas on how to present It on here that will help 'validate' it when we are in Nepal.

We are the organisation as such, and plan to blog with photos, what is needed, the receipts, and the items in use. We plan to use all the SBDs from this blogs on the work, and have already spent over £1000 of our own money on preparation.

Cheers

I love this idea and project. If you can get together at least 15 people you can can a channel on MSP just for charity. There you can chat, discuss ideas, and share ideas. What are your thoughts about discussing this on MSP waves too?

makes sense to handle that, let me have a think

Any more thoughts on the MSP Radio show?!

I would be in usually - however we need talks beforehand

Yes we do, when are you free to chat?

ideally send me 3 meeting proposals for next week

Thursday at 6pm eastern time. Friday at 4pm. Saturday at 10am. Thoughts?

Oh wow! Where, in Nepal, is this Children's home? You doing great work buddy! Let me know if I can be of any help to you, here in Nepal. Regards

Please ask @abh12345 - i am not sure on location, maybe he replies

@abh12345 : Please do let me know where you guys are volunteering. And, if you guys are around, I'd happy to sit and have a chit- chat over a cup of coffee or tea.

Dear @uwelang

We are both flattered, honoured, and embarrassed for not seeing this post much sooner.

Thank you so much for featuring us and having faith in our project, and transferring the SBDs over yesterday - which was the reason I came to look at your profile.

I'm sorry if I missed a message from you somewhere, but I don't remember overlooking one from you, or someone else who has commented on this post.

Thank you again, you are a star (which now shining over my following feed too)

Asher
