Hey man
Do you remember this vlog you did? Particularly from 6 mins 37. If you could spare me a few mins i'd like to put this by you.
This November it's very likely we will be traveling to Nepal to do some volunteer work in an orphanage @osm0sis helped at last year. The way she speaks about the experience has made me want to do it, and the idea has been floating in my mind for much of the past year.
This vlog you did, which i remember well, made me think about using my presence here as a v/blogging account for this project. What i'd like to try and achieve would be to show what you are giving when providing money (out of thin air) to a charitable cause.
One idea would be to ask when we get there, what do you need? Get a list and show it to Steemit. We could then see who would like to give say a few microscopes, a guitar, paint for class room - All things Sylvia provided herself last year.
As you say, donating to a charity is all well and good, but you don't see truly where the money goes. This would hopefully be different.
Would you see this as something you could see yourself being interested in?
and
Do you think it's worth coming to steemfest to discuss this idea with fellow steemians?
I'd appreciate your thoughts and advice greatly.
Cheers
Asher
He, man, thanks for this message. I really like this idea and to see if the Steem blockchain can help here. Would it be possible to talk about this in more detail? I'm on discord and on Steemchat under my username.
Edit:
somewhere this week is fine :)
Yes please! That would be great :D
Whereabouts on discord can i find you? on the MSP server? I'm @abh12345 - Asher :)
Also tried you on https://steemit.chat/direct/exyle
Thanks man, looking forward to it!
can you believe steemit.chat isn't showing your messages - im getting them via email but cant respond!
I have the same problem atm. What a timing man. Let's try another time.
ok cheers. discord seems more solid.
I got your message to contact rolandp. I was wondering if i could post a pitch here, and take some quotes from your vlog a few months back?
I wouldn't want to do a talk at the event, just chat and see who was interested you know?
Hey man
Really hoping it's OK to include you in the post - hopefully it will give you a much better idea of our plans. If you have anything you wish to change, let me know!

hey man
would be cool to catch up, when you have some time around changing nappies!
I was wondering Bianca was attending Steemfest, and the conferences? We are both coming to Steemfest (yes!), but i'm wondering if the day stuff would keep Sylvia's interest (hackathon - lol), or if I should get 1 ticket and let her do her own thing until the more social, relaxed events in the evening? I want her to be there because her passion about helping out will be a really good thing for people to see, you know.
Was also wondering about things such as:

I guess we can discuss this at Steemfest over a few beers :D
Have a good day!
