Hello steemians,

I am gratefull reading all your comments, today i choose and upvoted langford:

Thank you for your testimony, if we want to change humanity we need to share our story to educate the richer about inequality and help the poorer to have access to knowledge, food and healthcare.

Hopefully with internet everybody have access to knowledge, you don't need anybody to learn and be creative.

Steemit ecosystem give us a great opportunity to share wealth and create a strong and peacefull worldwilde community.

Reading your comment langford you gave me a new concept idea, nowadays, nobody should die from famine.

We should all contribute for a better world and insure the poorer to get at least the vital minimum:

ONE MEAL A DAY

Clearly if we are waiting for the system to change how many persons will die until humanity solve the famine problem.

I would like to start a new concept, obviously i can't help everyone on this earth with my voting power, but together we can make a difference!

Steemians if you need help from us, if you don't have a meal a day, simply comments on my daily ONE MEAL A DAY post and hopefully you will get upvotes from steemit community.

Please be trustworthy, if you comment for personal greed and you are not deeply in need for food or vital healthcare, you are taking money from steemians who really need it to stay alive and you should be ashamed.

Doing that you are responsible for this world to keep going wrong.

We can take our responsabilities and act for a better world now.

i so so much love your good works sir, i would love to join this initiative because vene without steemit, me and my family have takenit as a point of duty to always fed the poor even if its once per day. Although we are doing it with the little we have ibeleieve we can do better if we have enough. thnaks again for this sir.


i have already determined to use anything i will get from your upvote and enter the streets and put a little smile on the face of children who are really going hungry. thanks sir i look out for your suport

I would like to share one meal a day to the street kids here outside our house. I was doing it during my birthday last January. We gave a pack of spaghetti and a bread.

Can they have an access to internet and steemit somewhere?

They don’t have, I don’t know where’s their house. Some of them usually hangout at the corner of our street. It’s near the main road and a traffic light. When the light stops, they beg.

What I love, I do not know today. I do not have any wish or not. It is astonishing that sometimes, when I wake up in the deep night, I hear the voice of the unreal, I see the mythical scene. Break the silence of the night and roar in my ears, There is no sea on the back.
If I do not have the moon in the sky and I see the full moon, I can recognize every star in the sky in the clouds. And on some other days, when a well-lit air is heard, first you can hear the name of a musical instrument, a beautiful melody, then whoever sings sweet melody more than the birds of the dawn

Do not think we're floating in the sea at night,
A melodious tune to flutter in the lake, so that
I can talk whispered with you ..........

Good luck 😂

because of the poor life style most of them don't have access to phone

True that.

Fantastic post friend greetings thanks

Thank you.

I think they haven't internet access from where they live. I am very sad and concerned when reading this langford article. stay away from societies that deserve internet access to gain insight into daily knowledge and creativity. Hopefully in one day, they may get more attention in the form of food, medicine, sanitation of clean water, supplies and facilities are very adequate.

God bless you for your efforts.

Thank you 😊
It’s always good to pay it forward.

Am working with several people on this platform to bring soccour, to the hopeless people. thanks for this @Damarth

Keep it up 😊

One meal a day is a great initiative Sir @damarth. You are one if the kindest people I know. Thank You so much for supporting Faith, Hope and Love Foundation for the less priviledged children in Bwari community, Abuja,Nigeria. Thank You so much for upvoting our NEW YEAR'S PARTY POST.
Walking on the street some days ago, i met a frail-looking 3yr old boy, who I couldn't help falling in love with
IMG_20180101_162120.jpg
He looked so weak and couldn't even force a smile.
IMG_20180101_162013.jpg
I met his mother (who's picture is not post for anonymity) who also looked sick. She them told me they were both HIV positive. My heart bled😢 on hearing that. Although I didn't have any money on me that day. I made sure to spend half an hour with the family laughing and taking lots of pictures.
I'd love to do more for these people. I introduced steemit to them but, they can't even afford three-square-meals, not to talk of phones or internet services. That's something I hope to change soon, with your support and the support of steemit community.
Thank you Sir @damarth.
Awaiting your response in anticipation @adedoyinwealth

Oh thanks,this is indeed beautiful. This is what i always want to be doing.,i have been trying to raise more found for a sister in the neighbourhood,her leg swelled up and we have been unable to determine the cause. But she was told to get some antibiotics in the hospital,though i have given her part of the money but she still need more. My intention was to post about her in order to raise some money for her. I can't hold back my tears each i see her groaing in pains. I will definitely deliver if i can get anything here.
Below is the photo prove of the leg

Thanks in anticipation...

that's sad brother, i will help you whatever i can do from my side.

Oh thank you already sir. I am sure she would be happy if she should find out somebody is helping her from the other side of the sea.
God bless your good heart sir.

Amen sir, thank you

Alright...

When I saw this post, I remembered some of the kids I helped back then in southern Kaduna. These kids are from a very poor background and they lack help. It's like the world abandoned them.

I did the best I could do for them. They didn't have a teacher or a good school for learning, so most of them do not know how to communicate in English. They are living a jungle life, a life of hardship.

I ensured that I gave them the best I could to ensure they had a memorable Christmas and New year celebration. I still think of them and plan to go back there to help a few of them someday.

Thank you @damarth for the opportunity to help our world. So many people are really suffering in several parts of the world. The rich keep opressing the poor. No one wants to help anyone. We must do all we can to end this. I will do my best to support this initiative in helping as many steemians as possible. Thanks for this once again.

Steemit ecosystem give us a great opportunity to share wealth and create a strong and peaceful worldwide community.

The steemit ecosystem is a great place to be in. I haven't seen a platform that brings the world together. Different people from different races have come together for the growth of this community. Everyone is playing his/her part without discrimination and no obstacles.

Thanks to the founder of this great community and also thanks to you @damarth for keeping the community close to your heart.

thank you#damarth for you kindness At the point when your children see you giving cash, they're significantly more liable to receive a giving outlook as they grow up. I compose from individual experience. I've given cash to an assortment of foundations throughout the years and have constantly tried to advise my eight-year-old child of my endeavors. Last Christmas, when he and I were shopping at a shopping center, he recognized a booth for a philanthropy and instead of spending some of his apportioned cash on Christmas presents, he inquired as to whether we could support an eager youngster abroad. We joined without further ado. Do likewise with your children and you may see comparable outcomes.

I want to specially commend you @damarth for your innovative mind. The world would be a better place if we care for the needy, hungry and poor.

The photos were taken during our food hygiene and health awareness campaign to the St Mary's Senior Science College, Abak which is an overpopulated boarding school in a small rural community of Akwa Ibom State , Nigeria.
It was the world malaria day ,Aril 25, 2016.
We sensitized them on how to control and prevent malaria epidemic.
We organized quiz and debate competitions and gave out prices.
We gave out food stuffs, mosquito treated nets and clothing to all the students and even those in the Abak community.
Currently epidemiologic statistics proves a decline in both morbidity and mortality rate of malaria infection and typhoid fever after this major outreach led by our team of Akwa Ibom Medical Students.

Glad to read your new blog about sharing thoughts @damarth you just helped a lot of steemians. You have such a good heart, generous because you share some blessings to other people thru featuring & upvoting a lot of steemians.

"The entire life we have has it's real meaning in giving! He who least knows the real value of giving that can leave a distinctive footprint least knows what the essence of life is about."

There's no reason for us to be selfish to other people, it is a great feeling to share to someone and to help other people because giving is one of the essence of life. We should share to less fortunate people, and we need to think the we are lucky and blessed by our creator so why not share it to other people?

IMG_20180203_202518.jpg

In our country a lot of less fortunate families who eat once daily and they need our help. The photo above is one of example of a home of less fortunate neighbor that we want to help this time and the reason together with my husband we share the story of this family so that people will see and read the story and starting sharing some of their blessings.

Thank you @damarth for being a Sta. Clause to steemians thru your upvote. Have a great day and more blessings..

@damarth - I am very impressed with your humanitarian thoughts. It's very uplifting to see other people also working to make the world a better place.

I've upvoted you and I am resteeming.

I've worked as a volunteer in India for many years in the past so I have seen first handed great poverty. It really is overwelming.

Back in the U.S. there is also poverty. I've done a few things to help here. Donated to various charities like "Warm the Children" where new, winter clothes are purchased for children in need.

Also some random acts of kindness.....I always keep some granola bars in my car for a snack in case I get hungry. I passed an older homeless woman begging and noticed that no one was giving her anything. I got out of my car and gave her a granola bar, not knowing how she would like it as compared to her wanting some dollar bills. Well, she literally lit up and immediately started eating the bar. So I went inside the store and also bought her a cup of coffee. She was very happy and it also made my day! It feels good to give.

I don't have much voting power so I am sending you 1 SBD. Perhaps you can share it.

Another story featured by sir @damarth that touches most of steemians and I am one of those hundreds of steemians touch by the story of @langford.

I am not going to post my one meal a day because with God's grace I havent tried eating 1 meal in a day and I thanks God for that. I also thank #steemit for adding source of income and for the technology because without it its impossible for us to be here.

All I want is to help other people in our society and this mother of 5 children, suffers an illness without findings what kind of disease it is according to medical doctor. Her story touched my heart so much, she is a mother of 5 children her husband is a Fisherman who earns not fixed income daily sometimes he earn 100 philippine peso or $2.00 USD, the whole night fishing so sad.

IMG_20180203_201138.jpg

She is Mrs. Guadalupe Simbajon, also has an especial child son. Sometimes the family can't eat meal 3 times a day. The reason why i posted a blog about her story 7 days ago to gather help for her. But sad to say the blog post earned few SBD amounting to 4.9$ i feel so sad but nothing i can do about it because we cant force people to help thru upvotes.

I dont regret posting it because in my heart i did my best to share her story thinking that maybe someone with good heart will see and read her story and possible to help her situation.

This post is dedicated to her! I been helping her but its not enough because i am not that fortunate enough to help her. I wish to be a millionaire to help her more especially the medication.

Here's the full story: https://steemit.com/life/@jjeeppeerrxx143/steemit-health-helping-hand-mission-we-can-t-help-everyone-but-everyone-can-help-someone


My camera is not that clear tho, sorry about that. Just left the scene now
Did you wake up staring at your wardrobe, thinking you don't have enough clothes or that you need to go shopping? And for many of us, it's pretty simple: Get in the car, drive to the nearest mall and buy whatever you wish for.

There are millions who don't have the same means and yet they make things happen out of sheer determination.

Close to where I live, just a stone throw...there is a an abandoned house in which these little children live. They can't cater for themselves, they don't work to earn a little income to fend for themselves.

And its very touching that they keep increasing everyday. I myself I keep wondering why it is so. So what i do to help is that, from my own little income. I buy them food, snacks and I also check up on them daily. It's now as if its my responsibility to care for them @darmath please if u can in any way impact on the lives of these street children begging, it would really go a long way. I kno u are very kind. Ur actions are speaking for u. Please... They need everyones help. Use my steemit account as a point of contact to help these beggers please. For all i ask. Thanks everyone for ur upvote.

FB_IMG_1517657482519.jpg

this was during my last visit to the orphanage in Anua hospital, steemit can make us all do this even more.

thanks @Damarth
you are a Great guy

Here in Bangladesh a restaurant name Bogra Akboria Grand Hotel & Restaurant they serve their daily remaining foods to poor people everynight.They are doing this for 100 years.
Bangladesh is a developing country. Standing beside the poor people in Bangladesh are so much fewer.There are two or four people who helps these poor peoples.The founderer of this reastaurant Late Akbor Ali Miah started this at 1918.Before dying he said to his son that it should be continued.

If every rich people are starting this type of social steps our world become very nice.FB_IMG_1517654764849.jpg

if we do not love the common man in the street, no matter how much love we preach, we have no love. The wealth of the whole world can take every poor person out of the street, touching lives should not be kept for the rich only, it's for humanity, I love doing it, it gives hope to humanity.

IMG_20171221_173428.jpg

this was for students in university of port harcourt and you can see the joy radiating from their faces... I also encouraged them to join sIMG_20171221_173128.jpgteemit

God bless you @bhoa you have touched lives in the university of portharcourt and God will reward you for it

I can see. It is a good thing you have done even though they don't look hungry to me.

I would love to start off by thanking @damarth for this initiative,i heard of this, of how you sir @damarth, tries to be a great blessing to numerous amounts of people every single day that passes by. You are a true leader and not a boss. May God greatly bless you for trying to contribute help towards humanity. It is a great thing that you noticed the need for provision of at least, one-meal per day to ensure the survival of people in various nations of the world.
In my home nation of Nigeria, the case is a heart-shattering one. Where the system is failing to recognize the need to help and feed the great number of children and youths.
Children in nigeria can hardly get access to adequate meals, or good sound education. For the case of feeding, the parents of the children that are in charge of feeding them do not even have the money to do so.
I would love to share a short story about my neigbours whose story is a very sad one. Their father died when they were very young. The weight of caring for the family has been on the shoulders of their mother ever since,and she was a just a secondary school teacher. Now, anyone in nigeria will know how bad the teaching profession has become; a profession that once used to be the very pride of the nation has now turned into a profession of misery. She was a teacher of a government owned public school, where her salary was just #30,000naira. Their house rent was about #15,000naira and rising. Doing the math, you'd know that their standard of living was very terrible. She would always go to different homes and help them wash their bathrooms and toilets just for her to get enough money to feed her children. Most of the time, my mother would split our meals at home and give them 70% of the mea, just to help them.
The government school's job was so terrible that they,ll even owe her for close to 6months. The system here is terrible.
The bridge between the poor and the rich here is mind boggling. Like the woman in the story, most people can't feed nor attend schools.
The rich just keep getting richer, gathering all of the money meant for the betterment of the people, and putting it all in their pockets.
Our hope for a better tomorrow in this country-Nigeria; are the youths of this time, but the state of schools in nigeria is heart breaking, children like my neigbours don't even have food to eat so as to even have the energy to attend classes and build their futures.
I took a trip to the state of kaduna-here in nigeria to see their classrooms, and i cried. I went on my knees and prayed to God to provide a means for me to help better the lives of the people around me.
The chairs they had to seat on were all broken and dilapidated,and the school uniforms they were putting on were all torn.
After that day, i went to back home to think on how to help the students attending the government school in my area. They also have torn, ripped school uniforms. I have been reflecting and thinking hard on how i can use this platform - steemit; to provide the materials needed to make good school uniforms for the students, and get a list of the children who have just one parent caring for them. I am hoping that i could start off something here on steemit and be able to create enough awareness about this issue and try my very possible best to provide food for their families, so that they can have a better life.

Kudos to you @damarth sir for outing up the campaign one meal a day

As for me, I can afford for my self one meal a day and I can even afford to help some people out wit a meal a day which I'm doing in my own little way.

I'm from Nigeria where the level of poverty is high and so many people dying of hunger because they cannot have one meal a day. The government of my country started a program sometime a to feed the school children one meal a day but due to the high level of corruption, the program is not functional any more.

In my own little way I've committed myself to helping people in need around me by helping them with food and clothing. I even have some I help out in paying their school fees.

These people are not yet on steemit because some of them cannot even use the internet. And the ones that can use internet don't have a device to access the internet. I've already told them all about steemit and we are working on getting a device for them. That is also one of the reasons I'm working hard to get to the top and gather enough steem power before they join so that I can help them better when they join.

Thanks for doing this and I want everyone to embrace this campaign of one meal a day

Personally, I grew up on the ghetto side and trust me when I say obtaining meals were an issue. I never knew how bad things were till I came of age. I was really thinking of how to help my family survive coupled with the recession when I was told about steemit. I may not have earned so much but the income I've gotten so far has helped me survive and helped my little sister. We (my little group) is planning on a secondary school outreach in March and prison outreach too. We're trying to raise the money, we hope to meet basic needs and I'm hoping to make little income from this platform to support this movement.
We may never know what people go through until we've passed through the path they're passing through.
@damarth, what more can I say? I'm glad this burning desire to help afford one meal per day for someone is also found in good people like you. We may not be able to change all that's happening in our today, but we can do the little we can. Therein lies the change and impact we seek.

In the year 2017 ago I get a little sustenance from God. And the sustenance can not afford to enjoy myself even though it's just a little bit, because with me seeing there are many more families who are starving and needing food and that person can not afford to buy rice or cook food Because the person does not have anything good that in terms of money or other, I was so sad to see that person and then touched my heart to take sustenance which was given to me is in by God to donate to those who are hungry and in dire need, after I donate a part of so many of me then also I have dinner with them because I think that person is eager to enjoy a very happy togetherness with dinner together. And this is the picture that I had time to capture first time togetherness

IMG_20170408_235119.jpg

@damarth, your writeup has made me emotional and reawakened my vision plus encouraged me that i am not alone. I visit orphanage homes a lot as well as school for the hndicapped. Recently, i visited a Juvenile Remand Home in Ilorin, Nigeria where i went to arrange a once in a week meeting with the inmates.

The truth is, there is so much we can do to bring food to tables. We can also create seminars and empower people with skills and if possible, create an establishment where the best participant is employed. So much can be done

Thanks @ damarth for bringing this opportunity.. This is a pic with my friends at the hostel wen we wre eating...

Native Nigeria food...IMG_20180203_104753.jpgIMG_20180203_104805.jpg

@damrath, Absolutely steemit platform really helpful for the any persons. Its contribute wealth thought via upvotes. You gave real inspiration post. Absolutely it encouraging me. Last month I can contribute some of my wealth to desolate peoples to share meals. Its only little bit person. But I was glad coz why I help another desolate peoples to give meals for solve their famine problem. I want to continue this unfortunately I can't take photography that moment coz they didn't faced in front of camera.
I Nice to decided follow you. Great concept.

Please be trustworthy, if you comment for personal greed and you are not deeply in need for food or vital healthcare, you are taking money from steemians who really need it to stay alive and you should be ashamed.

This one meal a day initiative is an excellent one. One that is geared towards touching the lives of everybody. You must be a humanitarian for this.

Really ,any one who participates for personal greed just ends up leaving the world in a circle of impunity and such a person doesnt deserve any good thing this world has to offer.

This initiative is for the poor and the poor should benefit but how do we get to know the poor? Does the poor have access to Internet connection? Does the poor have money to buy data to steem? Somehow I feel those who need this arnt here on steemit but I may be wrong.

I just feel you may end up giving this charity to those who already have enough and are greedy. I would want to participate if I am greedy but I am not, the world needs something better than greedy people so I will just sit and watch the deserving get all the assistance they need.

Thanks @damarth for this...

I really appreciate your kindness "ONE MEAL A DAY" @damarth ... It's true with steemit (upvote) we can help people - people who have no income to earn. People - people who are not to meet the needs of other life, even to eat once a day just hard. People who usually eat potluck can eat well. The problem is how they have Mobile and so on to access steemit while for everyday meals they are difficult especially to buy Mobile and so on. Therefore, it takes the steemit communities or private individuals of great-minded stemians to help assist those in distress who even eat once a day is difficult. And I hope the people who make up big in steemit do not mind to set aside some of their income to help those who live in distress.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

I had the same thinking process, then i thought don't do it too many greedy persons will try to exploit the concept and you will be disappointed by humanity once again.

Maybe i fear something that will not happen and i take the risk not helping persons in need for few scammers.

It's better to trust each other trying to solve problems than fear and inaction.

I just pray your good deeds reach the right people.. So that they would know huminitarians still exist. @damarth

We will be agents to reach such people and report back with proof

@sistem. Yes it's truly they don't have access to internet. But you can help some poor people around you just l use too. Good contribution

This is great of you @damarth. You always have a way of putting smile on people's face. Before I came on Steemit some weeks ago I was struggling to take care of myself but now at least I can afford a meal a day.
Since I have come to Steemit, with the little I have I can buy my own meal, but I could like to help this poor little children around me. Some of them comes to school with empty stomach, torn out clothes, unkempt hair. If wish to help them and with my stay here on Steemit, I'll help them in every small way I can.

When I was a teacher, I use to frown at fellow teachers who beat children who came to school without brushing their mouth. I think we as teachers should show small love by buying tooth brush and tooth paste to those children and see if they will still come to school without brushing. This little act of kindness will make the world go round. Thank you @damarth

This is so great an initiative , this is relating to the situation currently in the school where i am currently serving as a youth corp member in my country Nigeria, see picture here...
IMG_20180129_123917.jpg

I hope to help them in a little way i can before i finish my service year

I'm really grateful for this opportunity, nothing brings happiness and satisfaction than helping others, currently, I took up the role of providing lunch for primary school pupils in my community because teachers complained that some of the school children go to school with an empty stomach, and they have recorded a large number of children fainting in school because of hunger, I'm a student too so I know what they go through.
So with the little income I make from being a sales girl, I provide lunch for the children onceIMG-20171218-WA0002.jpg a week, and I pray my income increases so I can provide something more than this.

I'M HELPING THE AFRICAN CHILD IN MY OWN LITTLE WAY

Share your toughts , are you willing to participate?

Yes I am willing to participate.
To be sincere, I have a plan of organising something like this soon.

I come from a country (Nigeria) where a lot of persons live in abject poverty.

This is my plan

  1. To use my steemit earnings and pay school fees of some bright students in selected schools.

  2. To organise a programme where follow steemians in my community can contribute from part of earnings to run a school feeding programme. I'm really working towards this and we'll start it soon.

For me, it's not all about self happiness, food, fun etc. It is about touching lives and putting smiles on others people's faces. That's what gives me joy and doing this for school children is my dreams and I pray I achieve it perfectly.

Thanks @damarth for this. It shows you care about humanity and you love giving. You'll surely be rewarded and you'll find happiness in doing this.

Happy Steeming

I hope you can notice my posts too sir @damarth 😊

We can all be creative for a better world, your projects look really helpfull!

I am one of your loyal followers @damarth .. Upvoting me gaved me a lot of motivation to grow here on steemit. I am currently helping the community starting to make a blog about my responsibility to the community, I started with my student who use her hobby in dancing as a tool to finish her studies and now in 2 months time she will finsh her highschool. We dont need to be professional slaves and work like robots to put something decent on our plate. We can do what we love and live the life that we want here on steemit. Thank you for being one of my inspirarion.

received_1476668645785927-01.jpeg

Wow this is more than great initiative!!

There is a problem because most of the people who don't have food on the table don't have a computer either. I don't talk about western poor people who have car, but no for fuel or who first buy branded cloth but then dont have money for food.

Local communities could help for those who don't have for food, they could provide place like libary where people can make their steemit account and be able to receive help.

It's just a thought.
Keep up a good work.

keep-up-the-good-work-27792808.png

Yes we have to find solution about that. Maybe steemians helping poor on the street could post their actions with photos, and we could vote.

Yes, that is a good idea. For example on a road to my previous job, i was passing by a homeless shelter. I have often stopped and give something to them, mostly mine or my friends cloth wich we don't use anymore.
But it would be great to go there and help them make Steemit account. I will think about that idea.

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

This is a nice initiative by @damarth which i expect everyone to be sincere with.

Of course, i don't give out food or meal but i prefer to take them to an eatery and pay for their meal. I did this while i had a short stay in the northern part of nigeria where i had to take this hausa kids (Almajiri) to a food joint and pay their bill.

Another one i am embarking upon today is giving out those cloth am not wearing again. This is the little i felt i can be of help to those needy (kids) around me here for now.

This has being a gesture i and my family have received from others before, though things are not yet as expected but we can boost of the normal square meal and wear therefore, it is a thing of joy giving back to the society whenever it is available and necessary.

You are an awesome person @ damarth.I have been following your posts for at some point now.You are great motivation to me and a large group of other steemians.I plan to tow the same line when I have the means.keep doing what you are doing man.

I can see the potential for this to grow and be very rewarding to the hearts and souls of those doing the giving, & it would be life changing for the person being helped! I live in the Dallas, Tx- by no means is it like many of our poorer countries who live in extreme poverty, & it is hearbreaking to think of anyone not being able to eat especially a child! Where I live we have tons of homeless, under every bridge in downtown, we even have an area named tent city that is under several bridges and the city of Dallas closed it down last yr leaving the homeles families who lost their jobs, homes due to many different circumstances, ended up divorced & with nothing, were released from the military and had nowhere to go, military veterans that served our country people from all walks of life- took away all they had to call home or a commumity ...just because people in power with money felt that they we're creating an eyesore and a nuisance for everyday people or people who chose to visit Dallas or vacation here, our shelters are too full and there's nowhere for them to go- so our homeless lost all- in the last months they have set up in other areas and we have a new "tent city" the homeless people actually go out of their way to keep it clean and try not to draw attention to themselves so they are not "evicted" per say, yet again..when they have nothing more than a tarp on string to call home...myself and my husband and kids donate anything we can from our home,or thrift store or things donated by family or friends- be it blankets, coats clothes etc....whenever we can..I make a point to buy or make food for whoever I can that is waiting outside the whataburger, or underpasses down the street from my work 3 nights a wk, my manager also feeds them if they come into the steakhouse and ask for food, I take my kids and let them donate toys & clothes that they pick out themselves from their own stuff so they can see the importance of helping other children, & how very fortunate they are, we go pick up pizzas and drop them off...it is not a lot but we are only one small family and we do what we can, because prior to having our kids about 15 yrs ago myself and my husband had to live in our car for a couple months because his job closed down and we couldnt make it..he got a new job and we saved until we could put our incomes together to get a place again, but in the mean time we still had our carpayment and insurance and phones and other bills so we couldnt waste money on hotels it was unrealistic- but we came up and then got pregnant with our son and since then every yr life gets a little better! we now have 3 kids and we both work and have 2 cars and all the bills that come along with a family and a house, we have gotten better at saving and are so happy to have survived our struggles, but it humbled us, helped us realise what was most important & made us appreciate everything- it is not something we ever thought would happen to us but bam! It did! If more people came together and just helped 1 homeless family a day can you imagine the difference it would create- I am not saying it will change the world but it will sure help make it a better one! I love this idea, I see some people questioning how they will know if it is going to the right place or cause- this is one of those times you just have to do it it out of the goodness of your heart and hope the reciever is a true humanitarian! All good things come back to you! As long as you do it for the right reasons! I dont need meals or help- I just wanted to share my views/story and what we do to help, and just add that I love how this platform brings the world together...I love it! Surprises me daily!

I would like to commend this generous offer you are giving us, because not everyone that has, really care about the indigent.
I live in a not so poor community in Nigeria, but after a recent outbreak of lassa fever in the area, good food has been had to come by.
Me and my friends take out some week days once in a while to share some food that are contributed from other communities. The food is never enough though and we only wish we could do more to alleviate the sufferings of these affected individuals.
Thanks @damarth because I have once been a beneficiary of your kindness.
This one day a meal program could the reason an extra child does not go to bed hungry.
Thanks in appreciation of your help.

@damarth, thanks for this opportunity.
This life eh.
Have been trying to raise help for people affected with leprosy (PAL) but nothing.
👇 👇
https://steemit.com/charity/@magdnrobinson/help-for-the-pals-309e329e21d41

The people that needs our help sir, are in no way here on Steemit, not at all, they are out there.
I as an individual believe so much in volunteerism and after graduation last year from the department of biochemistry, I joined different programs that are involved in volunteerism.
Yesterday aur-clinic outreach,(ACOF) did an awareness campaign on cancer in a secondary, community and trust me, the students were so much delighted with what they heard.
Am yet to write in details.

Also, I was asking, not asking begging a curator in my country to resteem my post so alot of people can see it and might get interested but nothing, only a friend I met on discord did so for me.
What a world.

In essence, I am set 100% to go anywhere anytime to help people out there.
Poverty is not in Steemit, Steemit platform has given so many people opportunity to wealth.
Those in needs are out there, yes they are and they need help.

Tomorrow Sunday, we (medical students of the University of uyo) are going to visit the people affected with leprosy, just to assist in what we can.

Upvoted

I wrote something for you.
Would share in due time.
Having phone issues.
But lemme thank you first and tell you that on Sunday we visited the hospital of the PAL(p
Persons affected with leprosy) and It was a success.
Thanks so so much

Hi @damarth,,,

Thank you for giving opportunity to the people who need it.

Hopefully through this very social post can be a hope that has been expected by everyone. Steemit has become the biggest part of my life. In my area aceh many users of this incredibly incredible platform.

Even I have built a small community that originated from my family and close friends so that users who enter the steemit platform through me can be directed in managing this incredible platform.

https://steemit.com/comunity/@boyasyie/my-achievements-since-joining-steemit-com

You can see my post about introducing themselves here. I aim, through this platform can change the economy of everyone for the better. even my own through my sister account @bawangmerah230 hire delegates around 4000 sp so that the community can be passionate in writing their work. now it's about 20 more people who join through me.

They are people who do not know how to work. but I hope through this platform can give us a good economy.

Maybe, in my opinion sp delegation is the best thing that can help many people as long as, everyone can be patient and firm in managing this platform.

by, @boyasyie

I must commend you for this movement.
But life is funny.
how?
Which steemian will say he doesn't have a meal in a day when they get paid for posting every day at least 0.5$ a day.
C'mon, now sir you posted and come see the flock of messages, all for upvote.
The last time you posted something on share your thoughts, I never came for the upvote or for myself, but for someone @magdnrobinson. He is doing a good work in volunteerism.

Now the actual people that needs this help are not on Steemit sir, no not one bit, they don't even know how to make use of the internet let alone but data bundles.

This is my own thoughts.

This post made me recall the 17 Sustainable Development Goals of the United Nations wherein they are doing every way possible in order to solve those issues humans are suffering for decades now.

Their target is to make a change for everyone and live a better life in the year 2030.

If we noticed the first four goals refers to poverty, hunger, good health and well-being and lack of education.

09-09-E-SDG-Poster.jpg

I believe one of the major reasons why people remains poor is the lack of education. When we are educated we can always find good paying job that could address the financial needs of the family.

I may not experience a one day meal in my lifetime but my family did experienced having difficulty in buying for food because there was no more money.

I remember when we get the chance to loan a 1 sack of rice, my parents used to divide it to the rest of their married children and those people who are dependent to them.

That is why I appreciate them for having a big heart, that even in hardships they still think of the welfare other people.

Another, I considered funny thing that I could think in order to eradicate poverty is for the rich to share part of their wealth to the least of their brothers and sisters.

They may be outdone certainly in number by those people who are in poverty line but if all of them will share, perhaps such action could at least curtail the percentage of those who are suffering and dying of hunger by a considerable number.

Funny but I wish I am rich so I could help in a maximum level.

Nice initiative there @Damarth, the world could definitely use more people who think with their heart rather than their wallet. I'm a skeptic at heart and throughout my life I haven't really done much for anyone but myself. A few years ago a lot of things changed in my life and I've now had the pleasure of giving a bit back to those who needs it, both through supporting various help groups but also through volunteer work in the Philippines with @iwanderela.
Recently I had an interaction with @sharonomics that opened my eyes to what I can do on steemit to help other steemians out. I don't have a huge SP yet or a lot of followers that I can resteem to but I've put up a giveaway to share whatever I got with someone who needs it.
I know it's not close to feeding a hungry soul in the real world, but taking baby steps here, it'll come :)

hi,damarth , first of all , i will say thank you for your contribution to the steemit community all the time. With your encouragement, I will cherish the opportunity to share my thoughts and ideas on this platform. It can also help those who need our help to give my upvote . every day i am very happy to share my thoughts with steemians , that's really good feeling . i wish our world is getting better and better and our life is colourful and meaningful. thanks again for your always support . let's move ahead !

I am a public school teacher in the Philippines and there are so many cases of malnutrition among our students. The culprit -- poverty and lack of opprtunities to earn. In our school, we initiated a feeding program for all students who are malnurished. We always look for stakeholders and sponsorship to support this program. At the moment we have around 80 students whom we feed everyday, and the number is growing. Although many politicians have already pledged to help, we are not closing our doors for other sponsorships, especially from my fellow Steemians.

Its great to see that someone still exists out here who really is sincere enough to know that many persons are trying to be creative for the purpose of making money here on steemit. If it means anything to you, I would gladly say, that I for one am really proud of you sir @damarth. Food and water are most essential to our continuity as living things. Yet, in my country and many other places in the world, people see more of blood and tears than water. Excuse me to point out the fact that there is enough water at supply units but not enough good will and good hearts to pour water out to every one. Steemit my friend has brought good will to my life and the lives of those I have introduced this to. Although I haven't been active, and haven't made much from it because I started few weeks to the resumption to my final year session studying a gruesome course as architecture, for the fact that my pals are making it big and upgrading their standard of living from this, are testaments of hope for a better yet. In my dialect sir, "osanobua a kpa uwe" @damarth. I pray for more humans like you to spring up and fuel initiatives and innovations. My best friend @yourmercury(He'll kill me) is an exceptional singer. He was a very shy one too and a poor shy one at that (I'm dead). He never sang to people he never went to a studio he never sang to a guitar in his life not until December wen he joined steemit and the open mic did my friend man up and sang to a video recorder and even won on the open mic contest. Now he sings every week and has got finally a good phone and some cool wears lol. My point, the fact that he was appreciated in text and cryptos was a driving force to this boy's commitment to creativity. I'm glad that there is this platform and that there are persons like you on this platform. Tomorrow morning when you wake up from bed, look at your mirror and know that you just fed many persons who probably would have eaten less or something else or non at all. Your are the man @damarth. God bless you.

Regards Regards to all, from the entrance to the community to Steemit I thought it was the country where I come from (Venezuela) who was in a social crisis, in the absence of food, education and quality medical assistance, but I have seen under several testimonies that many countries are under the same condition.

Sad to see how humanity is self-destructing.

Gentlemen we must be guarantors and participate in the help of our neighbor, remember Jesus Christ did not send us to love our neighbor as ourselves

@damarth we thank you from the heart that you are the one of the GREAT EXAMPLE, you are worthy of admiration.

And I join your work "ONE FOOD A DAY"

Obviously this concept is like assuring the common Man who does manbwho does not have the certainty of feeding well at least a day meal, back here in Africa thw hunger is so much in countries like Somalia and Zimbabwe,

However I contribute mly own quota in the little way I can certainly.

Your cause is example certainly, and believe me, I'm in support of your selflessness.

Thanks for your help @damarth, as very many people need, you can help through the internet with the steemit.
I really hope for you, do not ever orangutans people who need you.
The world knows, you are someone who is needed in steemit.
On this earth are now very much still lack of food, they do not know where to look.
Thank you for @damarth who has helped all the people of steemit users.
Because the internet is now a very good way to communicate with all countries, including with you @damarth.

In this place called life, God would awaays put
people like you Sir to represent him here on earth. God bless you... "A meal a day"

This is a really nice initiative @damarth . I was priviledged to be part of a project in 2016 that help feed homeless children on the streets and this was a really great initiative as we could all see the joy on their faces. Some could not express their gratitude in words but I could see the burdens that we lifted off their shoulders by just providing a meal for these people. From the pregnant mothers to the little children, everyone was able to benefit in one way or another. I most definitely would love to do something like that this year as there is no end to charitable works. We all need each other to survive and I am in full support of this "a meal a day" project. Nothing trumps genuine charity and care. The world is not a very good place but if we try in our little capacities then I am sure we can make a difference..

Am part of a small charity group with my friends called "the smile campaign". We do the best best we can to help the less privileged.
This is myself when we went to share clothes and shoes for beggars. Screenshot_20180205-152008.jpg

Very impressive work. But be sure if all are telling the truth

They are going to school about 10km

I've read @lagford full commentary, when he commented your post. I always objective to inequality. We all are humans. Why so humans divided both parties of rich and poor. Any time to spend for poorer to help them. They want to basically foods, sanitary facilities, if kids- school bags, books, pencils etc... If nations join together under the one organization we can change the world seriously. I have no longer wealth facility. But I gave only 05 kids choosing any year to share books, pens, bags and other necessary things. Its really happy to me. Thanks for giving me opportunity here.

I am indeed really surprise and amazed at work I'm going into

That's great initiative @damrath. I have past experience our family helped children without their parents. Actually I really sad looked their tears. Think how many peoples had without deserve facilities. Why some peoples selfish? For me I ready to help another poor peoples included children if i have ability.
I think steemit community is the great community indeed. So we can give some help to them across our earnings. Never think I can't do anything. Please say Yes I can do... If we can help learning children it would be more valuable our life.

With the steemit we can share and add insight and we can see the situation of countries in the world

This is awesome of you @damarth. You generally have a method for putting favor individuals' face. Before I went ahead Steemit half a month back I was attempting to deal with myself however now in any event I can bear the cost of a supper daily.

Since I have come to Steemit, with the little I have I can purchase my own dinner, yet I could get a kick out of the chance to help this poor little youngsters around me. Some of them comes to class with purge stomach, detached garments, unkempt hair. On the off chance that desire to help them and with my stay here on Steemit, I'll enable them in each little route I to can.

When I was an instructor, I use to glare at kindred educators who beat kids who came to class without brushing their mouth. I figure we as educators should demonstrate little love by purchasing tooth brush and tooth glue to those kids and check whether they will even now come to class without brushing. This little demonstration of graciousness will make life as we know it possible. Much obliged to you @damarth

Am a Nigerian by birth, i am a living testimony to the daily struggle and survival for food.....every day thousands of people are dieing of hunger, nigeria is a blessed country with so many mineral resources yet the standard of living is going from bad to worst, 5 year's ago the prices of fuel was #65 naria, but today the price #260...

Education is now made for the rich, as a poor man can not afford to pay his fee's, the minimum wage is #18,000 naria and the standard of living and the hiking of price is 2x greater than the minimum wage.

When i was growing up as a kid with my siblings, life was like hell, we have to work (haking) and even beg before we eat,we where raised by my mother as my father travelled to another state within the country to search for better life for us.

I thank God for steemit which has changed my story around, am still a newbies anyway but i know i have lot to learn and lifes to change, happiness is found in giving.

I have a vision to transfer the lifes of others and help my brothers and sisters who are still in the streets hustling to survive, i believe that steemit would feed the world.

Wow fantastis upvote, and then thank you upvote me.

I just wish we could help everyone... I just wish so
Nice on @damarth... We can only try as we can stretch.
Even without steemit, I encourage us all, let us all try to be compassionate. .. The truth is that your little sacrifice will go a long way to help someone. It mustn't be something very huge.
That little girl you help get a sandals or that young boy you give little cash or that brilliant student you helped raise his fee or that family man you helped with a menial job could be the gateway for helping several others.

Remember, the hand that giveth is usually above, so let's keep giving

To all people doing good in ways like @damarth does on steemit, You guys are the real MVPs. Keep doing it, the world is keepin records.

I will also love to propose something, can steemians in their different locations participate in community projects especially those of us in the resource poor countries?

We're planning some down here in portharcourt.

Thank you so much for this post @damarth .Do not forget to do good and share your hand, because such sacrifices pleasing God. " We must not forget to "do good", that is, to help others, as well as "share our possibilities". For example, parents of wise parents can teach their children to help in their daily work with the elderly, write a card to a sick person, go to visit or telephone to be supportive and take care of other poor or sick children. So children learn to be kind and generous every day of the year...

Thank you @damarth for giving us this platform to share our experiences. You are really a positive influence to us. I greatly appreciate to your work .

The way of thinking is very beautiful. you are trying to help people in difficult situations. The idea of "ONE MEAL DAY" is very good and I hope to succeed. The power on the screen is very low, but if I succeed in upgrading in the future I would like to organize donations with you. It hurts me to know that people in the world need help. As I see the rich living in luxury. But this is the end of the capitalist system. Heads of state need to do something to prevent this. @damarth

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Thank you for sharing this beautiful writing with @longford and supporting it @damarth

Unfortunately, what you say is true. The world is a ruthless place. A lot of people are hungry. Some people are adding fortune to their wealth. Politicians talk about the per capita income. Is this ridiculous because there are so many poor people there are so many per capita income? Why do people keep being selfish? A shoe, an hour, why a shoe is paid so high. That money is spent on the annual dinner requirement of 10 people in Africa. Syrian people fleeing from war. The world keeps turning while starving. This is not really just. This world is really a ruthless and unjust place. @longfourd brother wishes your wishes happen. You can help people. I hope everyone can get this up to you.

I really appreciate your kindness @damarth ... It's true with steemit (upvote) we can help people - people who have no income to earn. People - people who are not to meet the needs of other life, even to eat once a day just hard. People who usually eat potluck can eat well. The problem is how they have Mobile and so on to access steemit while for everyday meals they are difficult especially to buy Mobile and so on. Therefore, it takes the steemit communities or private individuals of great-minded stemians to help assist those in distress who even eat once a day is difficult. And I hope the people who make up big in steemit do not mind to set aside some of their income to help those who live in distress.

That's a great idea @damarth, there so many poor people in the world today. As statistics shows, 80%of the world population live on less than $10 daily. I am happy that finally soneone is looking into the affairs of humanity. Its a great one!

@damarth sir ...
Actualy....What I learned here :
Steemit is not only about UPVOTES & Money
It is about writing..
It is about reading..
It is about knowing people and their side of the story..
It is about learning..
It is about finding a path to follow..
It is about keeping yourself motivated to write better..
It is about broadening your thinking..
It is about spending your time productively..
It is about making you think from a different perspective..
It is about writing without any expectations of UPVOTES....

The steemit ecosystem is a great place to be in.Since I joined steemit I learned a lot of things.When I joined I was selfish , I wanted everything for me , but in time I learned to share with others.

For me steeemit is like home.It changed me a lot.

Thank you :)

I'm so gratful to you by this act which you wnat to contribute with this community. I agreed with you and the new concept you raised here is really remarkable and brand new which helps numbers of steeminas in their lives. They can get one meal a day if they are really want if they are poor. No doubt, there are numbers of people can be greedy and needy as well. Choose what you think they deserve. :)

Honestly speaking, I eat meal two times a day which is not a rich food but I can feed my tummy with it and I'm with it that GOD gives us what we need to eat a day to maintain our digestive system and body to work more to do hard work and to live happily for my family who needs my support because my father is retired now so I'm one who have to work hard to feed other siblings and parents.

I also have a strong reason to participate in it because near to my house many people are beggars and always come to my home to ask money and food. I will give them too

Still, I would love to participate in your daily contest. :) Thumbs Up for this kind of act. You are so kind to us even I can't express my feelings. :)

"ONE DAY A MEAL...?"

Very good idea and hopefully other stemians follow or have ideas like you @damarth. Indeed with such ideas we will not be able to remove hunger from this world, but at least we can reduce their suffering a little. The more stigma like-minded you are, the more the people of distress and the hungry will be helped.

In my opinion, there's nothing as fulfiling as meeting a need, so I try to do so in the little ways I can.
I didn't grow up a very privileged child, so I have tasted first hand what it feels like to have nothing or less than nothing.
Annually, my family picks a day to visit an orphanage to give them food and clothing.
In fellowship occasionally we take food to hospitals, prisons(if we're permitted) or schools.
Sometimes we organize a food fair for the benefit of as many people as we can afford.

It is so beautiful to know that there are people who are so interested in the welfare of others. Thank you so much for this initiative @damarth
I've gone through all the comments here. You are all wonderful people. God bless!

well I am truly feel happy to join this comunity and this world best platfarm ...and I discovered numerous god individual like your @damarth, who are constantly prepared for help other people and listen others considerations for benefit a few and dependably energize all of here with your prizes and your graciousness and furthermore for the most part individual here are incredible which are prepared for help ohters and stand all them who are new and some poor here and furthermore in entire world with thier compensates and winning additionally I think that its like as a family where each a large number of us feel torment of others ....hope steemit will be an awesome platfarm which having numerous sources and spending plan for complete destitution out of steemit in entire world

I accept on steemit control that it can change the framework and can take care of the considerable number of issues on the off chance that we do it with solidarity with great for all intents and purposes work and furthermore with great idea as in your post.

Thank you for latest update news.... You are a great person... I really like you sir..... I resteemed your lovely post.... ❤️

of course everyone would be ready to participate, I hope too, to help each other in this steemit, can make enormous contributions and great influence, and can help each other weak to advance the economy on this earth, and I also agree with what you have to share and support for steemit progress, we are united, we can? i like steemit ... @damarth

I am very fond of hearing about the post @damarth, because the world is now too many people who are hungry and have no money to buy food for everyday, and money is very hard to find, because the job vacancy, which is hard to find, and in the presence This steemit, hopefully able to make money in this steemit, if I am wrong answer I apologize @damarth.

Loading...

I know a couple of kids in my street that don't have parents. Every morning before I go to school, I make sure to take extra food from my house without the consent of my parents and give to them just so they can eat. Sometimes I take the clothes my younger siblings do not use any longer and give it to them, because they always wear rags.
This would be a prime opportunity to help them the more and to improve how they live.
I hope steemit can help me in order to help them.

Wonderful post @damarth

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

Really, this is a good intention, but am a little bit unconfortable with it. Please don't get me wrong, it is good to be of help to the needy. My fear, Humans nature are deceptive sometime, I pray this opportunity will not be abused by some greedy people.Anyways, it is a nice concept if people will not abuse the opportunity.

about healthy eating we always remember for fear of hunger and poor people not to die kanar he always close to die ....

@damarth this is a nice initiative one meal a day is gonna give succour to the needey and the less priviledge it wil be a therapeutic process of making people who are suffering to know theres still hope. in my surrounding here many people need help in which i my self i am not capable of helping because i dont have much. @damarth you wouldnt be forgotten if through steem it people are able to make up there life. a picture here shows children who need succour they are malnourished each day i see them i feel for them.there parentsmake them to beg for food because they cant fend for them. no school no money no proper clothing they need help @damarth will be glad if favourable solutions will be granted to them thanksHunger-Children.jpg

Great Information for me...
The steem condition is an amazing spot to be in. I haven't seen a phase that joins the world. Different people from different races have gotten together for the advancement of this gathering.

I have to continue with this, deplorably, I can't take photography that moment coz they didn't look before the camera. This little exhibit of liberality will influence life as we to know it conceivable. Thankful to you.
-.jpg

I know several times i have stayed without even one meal a day. So when i read your post, it brings tears of joy to my heart that someone knows that feeling. Thank you @landford for putting the post and attracting @damarth and thank you @damarth for this initiative. I support you!

@damarth I want to really thank you and appreciate you because you are indeed a hero. In a world where greed is the order of the day people like you give me hope that there's still good left on earth.
I'm a Nigerian and I too have been a victim of the system, I mean it's hard not to be. I don't want to go into details.
Please @damarth do keep up the good work.

I truly value your effort but if people can't afford one meal a day, how do we expect them to have acces to internet and furthermore a steemit account. As I said I really appreciate what you're doing and think it's barbaric some people aren't even able to afford basic human needs but I think if a service like this would be offered it'd only be used by greedy people who want more money/steem power.

Amazing amazing post @damarth.
You saw the post and felt for him, but we grew up together as best of friends. Lol you could imagine how I would feel and how I have always felt. Not just a one day feelings but it’s just a daily routine.
This guy is an amazing fellow and a strong man, a man who never gives up in anything he’s doing.
I believe I can tell you more about him because he’s my brother from another mother.
This is a guy we both strive together even when my father ran and left my mom as I said in the earlier comments before, this man never stops encouraging me. Even with his hard condition he was going through.
But today am happy he’s living a happy life.
And if he’ll permit me to say this, a major contributor to his life today is steemit.

HE IS NOW SELF DEPENDENT

  • Pays his fees on his own
  • takes care of his younger ones
  • even help me Pay some of my bills before introducing me to steemit.
  • always talks about assisting his mom
  • wear good clothes
  • bought a good phone
  • took the responsibilities of his elder sisters child

What more can I say... am so happy to see this post from you @damarth.

This is the man6A179045-D5FF-451C-8157-2362CAF4C1DC.jpeg

This can be used to encourage other young steemians.

THANK YOU

You are an amazing fellow @ damarth.I have been following your activities for quite sometime now.You are a big inspiration to me and a host of other steemians.I hope to tow thesame line as soon as I have the means.keep doing what you are doing man.I sure know gazillion lives will be touched by your act of kindness.

God bless you @damarth. I am thankful to God that I can afford food.

I am one of the lucky ones.

The internally displaced people that have trooped into the capital city of Nigeria, Abuja, because of the insurgency in the North are not so lucky.

To contribute my quota, I help by giving alms when I can. The truth is that the economic situation in Nigeria is not friendly and everybody is struggling.

I believe it will get better as far as we help one another. Thank you for your help. You inspire me to help people with the little I have.

God bless you.

I have always have the passion to give ONE MEAL A DAY to the poor, the needy and the lessprevillage but I have not been opportuned...I will be the world most happiest girl if am given just one chance to show I care and put a long lasting joy on the faces of this beings .

If we all are conscious and work spiritually then the beautiful world will be.there are still maney poor people in the world with whom we stand to stand by.we have to go ahead eith our conscience and intellect.i agree with your thoughts.and i want participate in here

I wish you can notice my blog to sir😊 about "No one is ugly"

Wow nice one and a very great idea, I will be ready to support in any little way I can. #1mealAday let go

I have found the theme of the paper very good and successful.I'm not very good at present but I will join you in the course of time. I am the result of the people of the capitalist system, the end of all of us. duramaz.I am indeed really surprise and amazed at work

The more we share the life, the more the life of the person is on the right path.@damarth

This is a very selfless and thoughtful initiative.
Its true that most people can hardly afford to meet up with a meal a day, also they can't even access to the internet,but we who have access to these things can help them with the little we have. At least I can say for sure that the average person here knows someone who struggles to get a meal a day. We can help them even as we are being help right here.
@damarth, you are one of the most selfless person I have seen on steemit and on earth.

thank demarth for your great efford!The problem with charity organizations coming to help the poor in poor countries is that they tend to teach the people how to eat fish and not how to fish. The problem become complex as they bring the fish from abroad ignoring the local fisherman who already new how to fish instead how supporting the fisherman to teach more people how to fish. In a short while even the fisherman who can no longer sell his fish as the population now depend on the little manna dropped by charity organizations. So the fishermen also foil their ship and join the queue. A long term solution would be finding program and platform to engage the community to farm and instead of bringing expert from abroad, they should partner with the locals who were already in the field. This is the shortsightedness of charity organizations.
we must help person and say to him that you must help another person and that goes so on that no povert no one can sleep without meal,,
thanks for helping other....

"You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. "

I totally agree with you and i appreciate you from my soul . The action you are going to take it's really needed and should honour each and every man in the society who have ability to help someone who are needy people . I think we should help everyone who needed us plainly speaking i want to say that not only poor but also like autism child and someone like this type we should help their . As a medical person i know this things well and i see it everyday how many people are suffering badly and how to lead their life. It's really pathetic cause lots of millionaire , billionaire are there in this society but such a lack of humanity that things badly needed their . Whatever they have it's now their cause Allah want it they will help needy people.

After seen your post such a pleasure comes to me that lastly i found somebody who are thinking about needy people's condition and trying to do something . I will try to do something for this type of people from my ability .

Thanks to you and the commenter . You did well man as usual. Seeking your response . Best wishes for you and also cordially love for you and your family. May Allah bless you . @damarth

how do you think we can become successful steemit users?

Don't be selfish it is a good first step.

that is for sure

This campaign on famine is very valuable and above all to create awareness of what this serious problem means and as brothers we are all we should give our contribution, both material and spiritual to be carried out not only acts of "charity", but also as a true act of LOVE.
Count on me to give my support and my solidarity

I will participate, from the many I can, cuman this time anyone cares about people who crisis to ekonimi, you have built a community that can help many people in this world, I am very thankful for anyone who has made this community, thank you as much, from you @damarth I am aware and learning, the meaning of life

@Damarth I must say i've been following you for quite sometime and I must say that your selflessness and consideration for others are out of this world.
It's a priviledge to have kind souls like yours on this platform.
That said, I am willing to participate in this brilliant initiative

Thank you , i hope we can make a difference all together.

I might not be hungry but i know some people around me that definitely lack priviledge of eating barely a square meal a day.
It always touches me so deeply and very recently i used some of my little steemit earnings to give Ahmad and his sibling Rasheed- from a very poor home a decent meal.

I just vowed to give any earnings that comes out of this post to the people i know that can't afford a decent meal.

I’d love to participate. I can afford up to one meal a day but I know so many people that can’t and don’t have access to steemit. I know someone that can’t afford to pay her hostel accommodation bills so she sleeps in the classroom under the guise of reading alt night . Your upvote will go a long way in helping provide not just for myself but for others in need.

Local communities could help for those who don't have for food, they could provide place like libary where people can make their steemit account and be able to receive help.

It's just a thought.
Keep up a good work.
