Principle and faith aren't in conflict. If you buy a house from your mother, you still get a deed, after all.
I mean no personal disrespect of you, nor your proposal. I can't since I don't know you =)
However, given the principle that it is best to help people help themselves, and since you are the local contact for this endeavor, you could provide relevant information so that folks wanting to provide help can do so in ways that discourage dependence, and rather empower Venezuelans to create the means they can rely on to lift themselves from poverty.
Dependence on others for security of any kind, whether economic, physical, or for food, creates vulnerability, which only perpetuates the problem faced by Venezuelans disenfranchised by the socialist state.
Being careful to promote independence doesn't prevent being helpful, my friend!
Very Good Night, I respect every word and believe me I am in agreement with what you say and I do not feel that you are lacking about it.
Something that I would like to clarify to the whole community and your person, is that in Venezuela 10 years ago you could do any kind of computer, smart phone or tablet, the salary of the Venezuelan reached for everything, to make market, to buy shoes, clothes and going to the movies.
In the last 2 years the country has fallen in its economy to 1,000% this is crazy, knowing that Venezuela is one of the richest countries in nartural reserves in the world.
I would like to fulfill what you say literally, but unfortunately it is impossible, so that in Venezuela you have the opportunity to buy a used computer, we should save 2 years of our salary.
I have a personal example, at this time I have my wife hospitalized and has not been able to leave since the hospital does not have any type of medication.
With the donations I make, I do not change 100% of their lives to those people, but at least I will give them a big break in their hearts. @valued-customer
I am confident Steemit can help people in Venezuela, since it is a source of a currency other than the Bolivar, while Steem is volative, it isn't depreciating at the horrible rate the Bolivar is.
Are Venezuelans prevented from purchasing from foreign companies? I don't know. It is very sad that so much interference in your lives is undertaken, both by your government, and mine. =/
I am confident that people right here on Steemit will sell used computer equipment for Steem, including shipping. I am ignorant of whether Venezuela will allow you to buy it.
Here in my country, we are all Blocked. I'm sad to say but Venezuela is limited to destruction. A bad economy, you can not get food, or medicines, we are in crisis.
Thanks to steemit, 27% of the community in venezuela with internet is living comfortably. (only a little).
What percentage of people in Venezuela have internet access? What do you mean by 'blocked'? How are goods like toilet paper sourced? Are there manufacturers there, or all supplies imported?
Some information like that would make potential solutions better discussed.
What I mean, is that we do not have the opportunity to buy things that are normal for anyone, such as toothpaste, shampoo, bath soap, since this kind of things no longer produce in Venezuela and when coming from another country They are very expensive.
In Venezuela the internet is very slow, I do not know exactly how many Venezuelans have access to the internet.
Then how can you quote this very precise number?
Friend I mean all those who have access to steemit or know the platform.
In my country a good percentage has internet.
I hope this information serves you, any doubt you can search in Google. Bye!
