Indeed, achieving the target fund happened very fast. That is how supportive people are for good and selfless intentions.
Congratulations to everyone who laid a hand or two on this project - the organizers, supporters and sponsors alike!
And of course, congratulations to Myke. May you serve as inspiration to your fellow youth!
Thank you for posting this in the pifc contest post.
I'll happy to sponsor 1 SBI or 1 STEEM each week for people to "earn it" for this project:
Can you think of an idea, such as a contest, that the purpose is not to win for themselves but to win for the benefit of this project?
Wow! That's the generous you springing up again. Every ready to help... Thank you!
You have a great idea of coming up with a contest for this project. The concept of pifc where we direct people to someone else's post can be a starting point. We just have to tweak it a little bit. How about directing people to this account's blog and you match whatever amount of support they extend to it? I am not sure though, that may be costly in the long run.
Let's think more about it and who knows, the brightest idea will suddenly pop up.
I am thinking in terms of events like walk-a-thon where people sponsor walkers at so much $ per mile and the money goes to the cause or charity.
So, this will be "blogging for scholarsPH" fund raising:
You can come up with the idea or topic for the contest and it'll be your contest that I'll sponsor or co-sponsor.
@macoolette and @freedomshift from the team and the volunteers in our discord community we are really thankful on the support that you are giving to our project. We are really overwhelmed on it.
If there is something that we can do to help let us know too.
We are happy to help.
The idea of a contest, "blogging for scholarsPH", is to get more people involved.
Even if those who don't have the resources to give - they can give their time, raise awareness, and spread the word.
See? You have great ideas! Event outside of Steemit did not even cross my mind. Let me think about it, or maybe even ask around for more suggestions, including the execution. ๐
Let's start with 1 STEEM or SBD each week and see if people will join.
Ahhh... I was thinking out loud without considering the details. I am not used to hosting contest online so let me think about the execution. Just reserve that 1 Steem or SBD for every week because I already casted your pledge on stone. ๐ค
Crazy awesome support. Thanks to you and everyone else who supported us!
And to top it all, Myke seems genuinely happy for the assistance. I feel it will drive him further to do his best despite difficult circumstances.
Thank you for being part of the project.
It is my pleasure to be part of the project. ๐
