These are schools, believe it or not!
We've been building @teamphillipines much like looking for a needle in a haystack... We had aspirations to create an avenue where pinoy and pinay steemit users would rally together but that came without a sound direction.
Its been a year in the platform but we havent had nice things to do other than getting beaten at the challenges on #steemwars
We know where to go but didnt know how to get there, but that was not until yesterday..
It all started with this chat msg
In our regular chats at @teamphilippines discord channel, @devereei thought of doing charity... an outreach project to be undertaken by #teamph
https://discord.gg/UHPrs
This led me to suggesting
to try Mindoro as a prospect. Having been there for more than two years, I saw how the Indigenous People on the Island composing of 7 tribes needed help from the outside.
Then I showed @deveereeli
these pictures..
These are school classrooms, believe it or not!
Ive studied in a public school system but never could I have imagined that these photos were schools. Way back in 2014, I stayed in the Island of Mindoro for 2 years and managed to immerse myself with communities high up the mountains, help them in any way I can.
I saw these structures in different communities of the Indigenous People in Mindoro and I was shocked when I realized these were actually schools were the IP children study for their future.
With those experiences in mind, the moment I joined steemit, I thought of running a series of posts aimed at generating support to the projects #keephopealive had been doing.
I was supposed to run a series of posts on my experiences in mindoro... all earnings to be donated to keephope alive, unfortunately payouts did not went well then, only few upvoted the contents. It was only a couple of posts before I gave up. I thought charity was not a thing for early adopters of steemit.
KeepHopeAlive:Heart of a Volunteer
This post was the supposed prelude of my charity posts for mangyan schools and communities that didn't went well.
Yesterday @deveerei showed me this and convinced me to give it a try for the second time.. He posted some of the photos I sent him and tried to test the river... It was a good start. @immarojas too had wonderful ideas on how to go over it again.
Because of this I felt compelled to do it once again.
I thought this might be a good project for #teamphilippines.
Your Vote, Comment and Reestem!
their future.
What you guys think of this?
We were very touched when you introduced the project. It was heart melting. Most Filipinos aren't even aware what our fellow countrymen are experiencing. Not all know of such poverty existing in our country, and not all has a heart like you Mr. @tjpezlo. We were amazed and taken aback by awe with your story. We'd like to give you a tap on the back and even an applause for the things that you've done and tried to do. It's amazing how the international community here in Steemit reacts to posts like this once they got traction and they've reached the proper audiences. We've experienced it firsthand in our posts, it's not much yet, but it helps. Thank you for your service.

I have yet to talk to @tjpezlo about it again. We may have to consolidate all the liquid funds somewhere first. As of the moment we plan to create another account named after the foundtaion, however we need to buy it for it to be legal.
We can also keep the liquid funds in the waller and save it there or send it over into an exchange then into a btc or peso wallet and either save up till the amount is significant or send it over to the foundation from time to time.

Wont it be better for us to buy what it can that the school need? donors want transparency :)

we got that... for a start, we create an account were we would consolidate funds, when we have gatthered enough to start a small project of activity, we hand over the funds to #kha, then we make the foundation accountable and make sure everything is documented

Remember..that when you started it before there's not much. what can we buy with small amount? When we have traction, ie. bigger amount, we can donate it or do something big like you guys can build the school for example.
Because if there's not much for a start, we can still get some stuff for the kids..like steemians gift or something and we document it and post here. This is a continous process where we can show where the money goes. Very transparent.

i can facilitate that... build schools for them, even libraries... classes has just started and this is timely. if we get enough to buy school stuffs for the kids in one school, we distribute it immediately. KHA had been doing that for many years already. its just a matter of when will the suppprt be ready.
no.problem.with transparency.

Kudos sir. You were very amazing when you shared your story to us on Discord. I can't think of myself doing what you did. Will be too hard for me. Blogging about it will be the best I can do, for now. Let's make this happen!

You know it's a communal account... don't add to the ridiculous divide claiming false ignorance @deveerei.
TeamPhilippines is in support of all those on the team to help all those in the Philippines and Filipinos abroad as well. The spread of steemit throughout the country to reduce poverty, increase education, and support the spread of knowledge and the importance of quality postings. :) Cheers!

I know that, I'm just asking who's the handler. I can't message @teamphilippines in Facebook or Discord, or can I?

Sure you can, say anything in the #teamphilippines channel on discord: https://discord.gg/4heQbyt
or in facebook where you have been a member for weeks:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/steemitteamphilippines/
and they know.
it is not a single handler, it's a communal account run by multiple members of #teamphilippines for the betterment of the Philippines and #teamphilippines on steemit.
...but you already knew that ;)

I see. You could have just said there are multiple handlers. Some accounts like this only have a mod but multiple people can provide input.
To be honest I didn't know what communal meant (in full) yesterday, haha. Sleep.
