Despite all you have to deal with, you are making the world a better place. Thanks for the ongoing inspiration.

Thanks for your kind words. It's nice to hear from you. Steemit helps me balance my life. I'm not working or socialising much. I spend time here, posting my little bits of crafting and rambling "poetry".
Some people here like @azizbd are working so hard for their community. If we can help them achieve change in the lives of so many with simple actions I think we have a responsibility. People are good.
We stroll by a homeless person and pretend that we don't see, and now we scroll by.
We don't stroll by because we don't care, but we don't know how to change things.
Steemit is different. When we can do things we collaborate, it is happening everywhere on this platform.
It does present potential for fraud, no doubt, but the benefits outweigh the small minority of people who are dishonest.
I got in a taxi to a doctors appointment the other day. The driver was from syhlet in Bangladesh. I had just been talking with @azizbd in steemchat. I talked about this programme. He told me,
" There is no way you could know 100% for sure where your things go, or what they end up doing with them, but you will be helping someone survive. The social divide is so great in Bangladesh, the very wealthy don't need your items and wouldn't care for them."
That was good enough for me, as it happens I have complete faith in @azizbd and his work. I don't need them to account for what they choose to do with it, as long as it helps in some way. Sell some for food or to replace the broken water filter .
