People are quite complex and each one of us has our own struggles or even ways of seeing the world, different opinions and so forth.
It's easy to think "Africa" is just one big massive country that is riddled with drought and war and starvation, but it's several countries and many have skyscrapers and roads and such. A friend of mine recently went to on her second trip to a place called "The Gambia" there. I'd never heard of it, and it really opened my eyes to an entire microcosm of existence.
I also found a charity here helping people in Laos using Steem and it really got me thinking about ways I could start to actually use the platform to make a difference in other people's lives.
Plus, I think using Steempeak there is a choice to delegate the proceeds of a blog entry to individual Steem users. So, if I did a post and said "Every SBD from this post is going to charity!" or something and then did an article highlighting what I was doing, all of the upvotes and such automatically send all the proceeds to that user (I am not sure if a percentage could be set, don't quote me on this yet as I haven't tried it yet).
