RE: Steemit - Helping Overcome International Barriers and Disadvantage

in #steemit6 years ago

Thanks very much! I'd agree that I probably spend more time thinking about doing good than actually taking action. I also think it's really important to help in a way that doesn't belittle people... last time I was in a third world country (Nepal) I was reminded quite starkly that just because people grow up in abject poverty doesn't mean they're helpless or without pride. An offer of financial support was often turned down, but an action such as offering a helping hand or supporting a business really went a long way! I guess Steemit offers the same opportunity by allowing us to support good content, no matter where it is produced.

I don't want to sound like I'm against charity lol. It's definitely got its place and giving is a great thing, but people often don't want to be patronized by having money thrown at them and supporting their enterprises and initiatives results in a much better outcomes for everyone :)
