YouAreHOPE is recognizing World Food Day (Oct. 16th) with an earnest call for your help to aid our fellow humans in need in Nigeria, the Philippines and Venezuela!
Hello Caring Humans!
A quick author’s comment before we get started here:
@SirCork here, your steem witness #98 and the founder of the YouAreHOPE global humanitarian aid organization. I am proud to officially (and finally!) announce this new initiative to you all. I have been mentioning it to some of you over the past few weeks, and I did put up some preliminary posts yesterday, but the time is now here to introduce you to this ambitious project I plan to focus on now completely with all my available time, energy and love.
Yours, ever in service to my fellow man wherever I can be,
@SirCork
YouAreHOPE is a brand new steem blockchain based, community funded worldwide humanitarian aid organization committed to serving our fellow humans with the fundamental needs they are in desperate need of in distressed and disadvantaged regions of the world.
Did you know?
Monday, October 16th, is World Food Day.
World Food Day is an annual worldwide event set aside to recognize the need to better provide sustenance for the humans of Planet Earth, of which more than 14% of all living humans exist in conditions of extreme poverty and suffer from malnutrition, an overall basic lack of enough food, and other basic necessities of life like clean water, clothing or shoes.
To launch our new global aid and services organization, we want to recognize and serve the needs of people all over the world to best of our abilities by launching a fundraising campaign, right here on steemit.com to facilitate the delivery of food and some other basic needs to children and adults in no less than three different countries at the same time!
HERE ARE OUR PLANS TO GIVE HOPE TO CHILDREN & ADULTS IN 3 COUNTRIES AT ONCE WITH ALL THE FUNDS WE NEED FOR THESE FIRST MISSIONS TO BE RAISED BY THE END OF THIS WEEK!
We wish to continue to raise funds and implement delivery of goods and serve those in need in the following three countries, Nigeria, Philippines and Venezuela, by building on the efforts we’ve all accomplished together in the following ways.
Today, the community known as steemph.cebu, and it’s team along with senior member and my friend of many months, @JassennessaJ, were able to feed approximately 150 malnourished, starving children from around the vicinity of Cebu City, Philippines.
The amazing young college students of @steemph.cebu formed their group, then executed this complex plan to give HOPE to around 150 kids flawlessly, providing a much needed, healthy, hot meal and a pair of shoes to each attendee, it’s literally heartwarming and heartbreaking all at once.
Check out the story this far:
Wow, what @malo10 has inspired in me since we first met when he was just a new arrival on steemit a few months ago. Since then we have worked together to do some amazing things on the ground for the people of economically distraught Venezuela. I’ll let these links tell the full story.
Be sure to check out the images and videos he documented the first outings with, and stay tuned for the results of our most recent fund raising efforts which netted nearly $400 SBD for @malos10 to serve his countrymen with, including nourishment in the form of meals, clothing, shoes and an ever positive, uplifting message from one of the most outstanding young men I have met yet on Steemit.com!
Celebrate the results:

Lagos, Nigeria brings us YouAreHOPE’s newest addition to the Agents of HOPE team, but the gentleman I’ve selected to be our first African Agent of HOPE is no stranger to me at all. He is a dear friend of many months who calls me “Pops” and I’ve always lovingly called him “son”. Our friendship has been an inspiring one for both of us and he has cultivated a huge presence already on Steemit in his time here this summer.
A community builder and big supporter of uplifting his fellow countrymen as long as I’ve known him, I know that @misterakpan is a kind, caring and loving young man who has already proven to me and many others on steemit that he will always give his all to aid his fellow men and women wherever, whenever and however he possible can.
Delivery of food proved to be a bit difficult in the environment he is working in, and with the resources available there, so we have agreed to pursue a solution in conjunction with a local school in an impoverished village instead, by providing the children there with desperately needed learning supplies as outlined in the related, linked post that follows here:
We have an excellent plan for Lagos, Nigeria to provide school supplies to impoverished children who desperately need these educational tools to facilitate their learning so that they can work to overcome their current conditions.
Check out MisterAkpan’s wonderful story and the plan:
We know that working across oceans, countries, continents and time zones with multiple languages, cultures, skill-sets and differing levels of needs and access to local resources in play, is an ambitious undertaking to say the very least, but as you can see from the stories, photos and videos in the links above, we do have some records of success already, as individuals and small groups operating prior to the establishment of our combined efforts as the new YouAreHOPE organization.

We agree, I was able to directly contribute a bit to the Cebu mission last week and I've been friends with @JassennessaJ since his very first days on Steemit. I am so proud of him and the whole team at @steemph.cebu - so very proud of you all. Happy I was able to contribute and looking forward to doing many more great service works together. - @SirCork.
