Topic: Bitcointalk Charity Program - Give Hope To Everyone $1 Is A Big Thing For Them - page 12. (Read 12717 times)

By Tomorrow I Plan To Start:
1.) Buying Goods needed for the Party such as:
Spaghetti, Chicken, Flours, Margarine, Rice, Drinks, Paper Cups, Disposable Spoons/Forks, Paper Plates, Breads, Sausages, Marshmallows, Sticks and other things that you could see on an ordinary Kids Party.

2.) Vitamins for the 2nd Orphanage

On Day 2:
1.) Toys, Clothes, School Supplies for random Gifts and Prizes for the Mini Games

2.) Tarpaulin Printing

Note: I don't have any extras in my pocket unlike crwth for I'm just a self supporting student, what I'll be spending are the funds that I received from you guys, only the effort and time is all that I can give, so I really apologize for that.

And I'll be honest with you guys, I hired a cook for the event for I know its still the best and as for the budget it will be much necessary instead of buying finished products on some fastfood chains. And I am more focused on the food so there can be many to feed for I don't plan to stick with just 30 kids. If I can save more money I can still be able to add another 10kids. Excluding the Sisters of the Orphanage, as thanking them for caring on those children.

Note2: If some of you guys wondering about my wife, I simply can't bother her,..  for she has still has work on that day. The same goes for my mom. And as for me I only know few about cooking.

---

Receipts will be presented, I also plan to record everything during the event. So I just hope they will allow it during that time. I will do my very best so that I won't let you all down. And also, so that we can continue this Charity for a long time.

I confirm that I received the funds from the charity wallet. It was given to me by cabalism13.

The total amount that I received is Php 6000. 37.5% of the amount accumulated this year.

So this would be my plan.

I would be helping an organization with this and their budget is Php 250 per person (Feed the City)  Php 250 per kid (Stand up for love). This would happen on December 15.

So they have two plans.

• Feed the City
• Stand Up for Love

For Feed the City:

• They would be going around to give food and gifts to the homeless people
• People who are roaming around
• Budget: Php 2500

For Stand Up for Love (for kids):

• It is an event where anyone could go into the venue (less fortunate) to have fun and games
• There would be prizes for basic games
• Entertainment (Magic Shows, Clown, etc)
• Of course, food
• Budget: Php 3000

The remaining would be used for printing tarpaulin that has the Bitcointalk Charity Logo [1] and other small expenses that may occur. I will update everyone here with the progress.

The funds was already divided between the two of us crwth, but it wasn't equally divided, but still we have come into an agreement lately and that's already a step for this activities. So all in all we are going to conduct 3 activities  also helping 3 groups/orgs/others at the same time.

In my stead all of the Activities will be made on December 23, I already asked for helped with my classmates, friends and a number of my professors, this might not be big for the funds was just only limited but I am trying to save every money that's on my hand so I can distribute fairly and as many as I can.

---

By tomorrow I will finalize everything within the 2 orphanages that I saw this day. I might also make the current number of kids into 40, so we can really see smiles all over the Venue. Documentation will be presented by evening after the event.

---

Please, Wish For Our Success.

---

Also I would like to thank all of you for bringing this up and sharing what you could, If the funds could go higher on 0.01BTC before this Dec 23, then it will be added to the funds right now,...  but if not, it be saved for the next activity by Next Summer 2020.

cabalism13, the only thing that matters is that the funds come in the right hands, and I have no doubt that this will happen. What is also important is that as many children as possible are covered by donations, because I think even a very small gift means a lot to those who need it most.

I'll personally send another donation this week, yet this is the month of giving, and it is always good to do good things

I just found an orphanage, Sister's of the Poor, they have atleast 30 children with a range of 4-14 years of age. They even have a scholars in High School,...
I plan to conduct a mini Children's Party on December 23
The needs of the Children will be listed here by tomorrow, once it has been finalized.

The funds was already converted from BTC to Php and we have accumulated atleast Php16,000 ($300+)...crwth has also a plan of feeding the kids along the streets, but as of I wanted to propose this and help the orphans. So we might just have to divide the funds.

---

Also I found another orphanage but the thing was it is like a Boy's Town, they have 15 kids range of 7-12  years of age, and I came up with a plan of donating some things that they need.  Like Vitamins and clothes, they didn't mention the school supplies I wonder if they already have enough of that...

---

Plan for Sisters of the Poor:
Feeding Program
Mini Games with Prizes
Gift Giving

In regards of people, I have friends that are willing to help in this Charity, I might even conduct a fundraising on my school for additional funds any time this week so there could be lots of goods and things to be shared among the kids.

It has been a while but I'm still not sure about what to do but I had a couple of PM from members that could probably help this time.

I'm not sure yet if it's easily applicable to order here in my place but I read this article from Social Media. So it's basically an application that helps you buy from local farmers thus supporting them. Maybe get a love letter from them too. (Just like in the article)

I do believe that they are the future of the generation and is the priority for sure.

Upon stumbling an article, the Session Groceries application would suffice the direct contact thing.

The organization that you posted is a lot of what I would like to have when it comes to helping. I do think that it's going to be different here but it would be nice to model it or let it be an inspiration in the future to what extent we could help. It's really nice to see. If you have the capacity into making things like that, I would gladly help and try to make it a continuous effort towards helping those who need it.

---

It's still a work in progress. Thanks a lot to those who are continuing to support this. If someone knows how to help, even more, don't hesitate to message us.

Looking forward to make donations using XRP

Anyway, here's my another small donation as what I've said before, I'll keep on sharing everytime I have some free credits.

https://www.blockchain.com/btc/tx/d31f14f04bf2141dd9b5e900aec2c7a996f7101f67c72d8581b1f9173b3824a2

Thank you and God blessed everyone.

Bump.

Will update again later for the final decision.
Helping the three at the same time sounds quite a good idea.

I too like the idea, but see some downside to it:
1. the organisation of farmer, distribution since yet it seems nobody does have the direct contacts.
2. it is a one-time-help, what is still amazing, but I prefer "mid- to long-term"- projects.

That said I always find it difficult to find a valuable project/NGO to trust and that is not wasting a good portion of the donations for offices, travel-costs etc.

Thus the project of my choice since years is this one: https://nevensuboticstiftung.de/ (unfortunatelly not available in English).

Neven Subotic, the heart of this NGO is a professional football-player and former team-member of my favorite club, Borussia Dortmund. Neven has been in many debates about ecological/ethnical topics and is one of the most symphatic/honest/real football-players to me, so I trust he is doing the right thing the right way.

The reason:
"844 million people have no access to clean water. Together with you we can change that!"

The concept:
In Africa/Ethiopia "We build wells and sanitary facilities for the people in the Tigray region in northern Ethiopia. This has a direct positive effect on the education system: Children attend school instead of transporting water for miles from remote water points."

Misc.:
"Every donation, large or small, is important to support our current 100% WASH project. We make sure that every donation is used 100 percent for local aid. That is our promise. So that we can keep this promise, Neven Subotic takes over all administrative, travel and other costs incurred by the work of the foundation. You can inform yourself about our projects with photos, videos and GPS data. Experience how your donation improves the lives of children in a sustainable way."

Here is the trailer with Neven speaking and an impression with a volunteer showing how they interact onside (even if you wouldn´t understand the words, the pictures speak well)

On the first glance I did not find a donation-option other then bank-transfer, but in case this project is worth backing for us here, I will find a way to make it happen.

Please drop me your feedbacks for this suggestion.

I don't see anything wrong with this idea that actually helps all those who are vulnerable and need help, the only problem may be how to implement it. You first need to find farmers in provincial areas, which means you have to go directly there and negotiate with farmers on the purchase price. Then the rice must be transferred from the farmers to the place of distribution, and must also be distributed to those who are selected for donation. How many people actually are needed to put such an idea into action?

I have already expressed my opinion that children are an absolute priority, but also everyone else who is suffering in any way because of poverty.

Probably they are the ones in the slums that have very little to nothing to eat. It would be wise to have a smaller sector of the government to assist us with this kind of activity. It would be easier and at least they know that we are trying to help them. Even for a few days.

Mentioning Skwater Areas makes me think of a joke by my friend when I was still in high school. SK-H2O. Lol.

---

Just like the previous donators, every satoshi helps! 

---

The next step would be choosing what place to focus on and who really needs the help. Any ideas?

I just walked from subforum to subforum, just found this thread.
I promise this week can donate also to that Bitcoin donation address. Hope this charity program is long time program...
Before that i wanna say thank you, you all nice person, i pray good luck always and get good fortune for you all.

Edit : just sent today. hope that can help.

I can make a consideration to that but as for now, we've only been seeing people who can donate BTC and not other altcoins.
But for now I will add an ETH Address at the OP. (Give me until tomorrow)

Not bad. But where could we find those unfortunate individuals? In Skwater Areas? If yes, we will be needing an assistance to a barangay.

I had a fantastic talk with my friend, and I had asked her what to do with the current status of the charity. (She is someone, not that familiar with BTCT but is a helpful person) And she said that why not help them both? That conversation lighted up my mind and said, that's a great idea. So let's imagine it like this.

1. Find a direct buying of rice, probably in provincial areas. Factors could be the amount the farm produces and choose the least ones, to help most the needy
2. Buy Rice from the farmers directly. (No middlemen, no big corporations, etc.)
3. Distribute Rice accordingly with the right amount to last maybe a couple of weeks.
4. Targeted individuals are the less unfortunate, not the homeless. (I'm just worried they won't be able to cook the rice)
5. Buy canned goods and give it as a goodie bag.

I think this would be a great program if anyone agrees.

It will be helpful if you add more options for donations like Ethereum, Litecoin and few more
People will love to donate in the currency they own rather than convert and donate.

We appreciate all the help we could get. Thanks!

Just like what @cabalism13 and @Scheede suggested, it would be just a one-time thing for them. I think it's a great idea to have a feeding program and invite them, instead of having to drive over wherever they are or something.

It's better to press the "Report to Moderator" button instead of posting too.

Well, let's look at it this way. If we have USD 320 (Thanks to @Scheede), it won't make sense to have multiple events anymore if the focus is to help more people. Concentrating on one event would be good.

The Average meal for the Philippines from an inexpensive restaurant is USD 2-5 [1] and if you are from Europe, let's say Belgium, according to the data it's around USD 11-22. [2].

So it's 100% more for an inexpensive restaurant meal when comparing Countries in Europe and the Philippines. So if we have USD 320, it would be 64-160 meals if we were to use it so that it could be a lot. Probably focusing on one goal would be best.

Let's see if there will be more donations, and we're just in the planning phase. Maybe there would be more interesting projects and approaches to what we could do for the needy.

Well with BTC at a price of roughly 8,000$ we are speaking about 320$ as donation, which will buy more in the Philippines than in Europe f.e.

In my opinion "buying food" is a "one-time-thing" - don´t get me wrong, thats still great and setting up this thread/campaign was already worth the effort.

Anyway in cases like those, I would always recommend using the money for something sustainable, that will provide X people with Y products for the future.

(Anne Ritchie is credited as the one who coined this phrase.)

Maybe we can find something like this in the Philippines, Africa or somewhere else on this planet.

I was actually curious about how much food could be bought for 0.04BTC or how much that money can actually buy/help in the Philippines. Since I am from Europe it's hard for me to imagine how much that money means in your country, and whether it makes sense to divide it, or to focus it on just one goal.

I am sure that there will be more donations until Christmas, and also the price of Bitcoin might be better than it is today.

would you please Give Respect to Valuable and Charitable  thread like this?instead of sharing to help, what you did is Promoting?do you think this will attract investors?or you are only letting people find how Cheap your Project is by Hi jacking threads

P.S

sorry for the Off Topic but i cant resist replying

---

a little amount will be send before the Christmas Project decided since there are still no concrete plans ..Continue this Work its really helping !!!

Though I haven't sent my donation yet, but I would like to suggest on the next activity.

I suggest "Feeding The Homeless".. they are the people who really needs help as they are living in the street and in the Philippines there is no program by the government that wold help them find a shelter, with documentation like pictures on the event, I think it would touched everyone's heart.
