We're going to help a school in rural Philippines (and Steemit could change everything)

In a couple of months time I'll be joining the GiveBack GiveAway again, this time in the Philippines and I believe there's a massive opportunity here for Steemit to help.

Those of you that have been following me for a long time will remember my previous trips to Cambodia and Northern Thailand (video below) . It's an awesome project that allows us to give a little bit back to local communities and I'm massively excited to be a part of it again - this time in one of my favourite countries, the Philippines!

The way it works is simple. People donate a small amount of money to towards supplying and refurbishing a local school and by donating you get one entry into the raffle for a free trip to the Philippines (airfare included).

Donate $10 and you get 1 entry, donate $25 and you get 3 entries.

Then we go to the village or town, hire local labour to make positive improvements to the community and help out where we can.

People donate to help a local cause, we show you first-hand how the money is positively impacting a local community and there's also chance the donater will get to come with us completely for free - it's a win-win.

So what role can Steemit play?

I'll be there for 2 weeks, filming the whole thing and showing you how the local community benefits from the donations. I want Steemit to play a part in this. I want to show how upvotes can change lives.

That might sound a bit strong, but hear me out. I will be consistently posting about this project leading up to the event (it starts on April 22nd) and I will put aside all the SBD rewards into a pool ready for when we arrive. That way I can use all the rewards when I'm there to do something positive for the local community.

That means your upvote will go straight into building new schools and classrooms. Installing playgrounds so kids get to be kids. Supplying entire schools with textbooks, desks, water tanks, a place to go to bathroom and dormitories for orphans to sleep at night.

The only limit to what we can do for them is the amount of money (or SBD) that we raise.

I believe this is the sort of thing that Steemit was meant for - a means to positively impact people's lives just by clicking a button.

I'll be documenting it all too and sharing it across my social media channels to 150,000 followers. How cool would it be to say that Steemit managed to impact the lives of a whole community?

I believe we have a massive opportunity here - and all it takes is an upvote.

Thanks as always,
Jord
