Greetings to all Hiveans, this is my #hive introduction!
A challenge presented by @anomad and sponsored by #blocktrades and #ocd
I am the founder of The Papillon Foundation aka @papilloncharity in South Africa.
Due to a dire lack of funding support for our important work in poor communities, I opened an account on Steem for @papilloncharity in June 2017.
I also have to tell you that my second love is mother nature and most of my blogs shows her beauty'
Since then the wheel has turned and now all of us have ended up in the new and exciting Hive.
Let me show you some of our work below!
This photo above shows a white squatter camp in South Africa!
No electricity and no running water!
Just like the Covid-19 virus, poverty knows no barriers and all are equal before its onslaught. No race, gender or age is protected against it. A very wealthy man’s health failed overnight and after his funeral his assets were all distributed to his heirs. Within 2 years there was nothing left. All friends and contacts disappeared and they ended up in poverty. There are many causes for poverty and these are the people that Papillon helps.

Just some of our statistics here below!
1352 child workers graduated from our free trauma training.
1698 refurbished computers placed at worthy causes.
9969 skills courses attendants thus far.
423 Tons of donated goods freely distributed.
The elderly are also taken into consideration! We have several old age homes that look after those without pensions. Although they get a minimal government grant it cannot sustain them and they have to find places of refuge. Some are in the frail care sections, and homes like the one in the photo are supported by Papillon with incontinence nappies. This photo shows a delivery of nappies last week.
And of course that's not all, as you can see more of our work on our website. DM me on Discord if you want more information.
Our purpose here is to try and build a sustainable income to secure the future of Papillon's existence. We do important work in love and care and all of the income that I raise here belongs to the charity.
We are grateful to continue on Hive and may the future bode well for all of Hive's members!

I hope Hive can keep helping you raise money for your good work. You can still post on Steem to make more, but that seems to be going downhill. It shows that nothing is perfect, but we can still try to build something great.
Thank you and at least we are not lost and standing still Sir Steve.
A few years on Tsu, then a few years on Steemit and now how many years will I have on Hive, as I am 4 years away from the age of 70. Time is short for me my friend.
I have done a full download on steemit today, as it doesn't look like they are going to perform. Let's see how it goes!
Blessings!
Hi and welcome to Hive, I'm sure plenty of people here will help out.
@pennsif will be interested in this for sure!
Thank you Sir and the hope is to keep us going.
@pennsif is a good friend of ours.
Blessings!
Welcome to Hive. A great example of humanity and solidarity, an admirable job you do. Greetings, @papilloncharity.
Thank you for the welcome and the kind words my friend.
We only do what we can.
Blessings!
Good to see you on Hive! Always good to hear about your work with the charity!
I liked seeing the photo of you too for you usually are on the other end of the camera!
Good to be united again my friend. I decided that it is time to start doing things a bit differently. We have a new opportunity on Hive and let's make it count.
Blessings!
Great to see you on here
For now I am just posting on Hive, not sure if thats the right decision but the one i made lOL
Thank you JJ. It's going to take time to get used to all of the new things.
I started the powerdown today and let's see how it goes.
In the meantime I post in both channels on PeakD.
