RE: Steemfest 2 - Home, Poverty, Multi-Nationals!!!
A quick thought for example is to create a little internet (Steemit) hub where members of the community can go and do their thing (post, interact etc.)
That would be jump-start many out of poverty, Therneau.
Followed you, @therneau
A Steemit Internet.org?
That's a good place to stick a camera/mobile to record.
In Dubai, I'd have to check with my traffic police friends, whether I could drive & film at the same time.
Excellent concept.
All the very best for the contest.
Thank you very much @nigelmarkdias :):) Well, guess I'm just lucky that my phone can actually lodge in there by my odometer, lol. What you could do is use a dashcam I suppose, just turn it around so it faces you :) Depending on if that's legal in Dubai... With regards to creating a little hub, well, the technicalities will have to be worked out since I can't expect people who have little to nothing to pay for something like that. I'm thinking down the lines of I'll be willing to pay the bulk of it however the community also needs to contribute. Even if it's a few cents. I've just seen here, in SA, how just giving creates the wrong mentality. What are your thoughts? Pm me on the chat if you'd like :):)
My focus has been more on the giver, rather than the recepient.
Politics creates & then culture milks an attitude of entitlement, especially in democracries.
re: Soros' #BlackLivesMatter, India's vote-bank politics. From both experience & Scripture, when people are taught that
The poor we have in Dubai are construction workers, from the Indian sub-continent, who have been exploited by employment agents from their own countries. e.g. Indian or Pakistani recruiters ripping off their fellow citizens. Fortunately there are many expatriate communities, including many South Africans in Dubai doing some truly noble work for the poor.
Well said @nigelmarkdias!!! In our case, definitely politics that created the situation. It's a shame the people there are being ripped off like that by their fellow citizens. It's just pure greed.
