Before I go to far, I will be donating all income from this post to the FOOD FOR LIFE PROGRAM, which is using cryptocurrency to "save lives in Venezuela". For those using Steem-Plus you can add beneficiaries at the bottom of post as you are finalizing the post. I have added @aid.venezuela as 95% beneficiary (Steem-plus gets 5%).
I am going to "borrow" one of their photographs to bring further attention to this cause:
They have completed their first Fundition program (https://fundition.io/#!/@aid.venezuela/30wfgrql0), but that does not mean the problem of malnutrition and hunger has passed. Donations are still accepted through the Fundition site, until another program is in place.
Please read @aid.venezuela's latest post for more information than I can provide: https://steemit.com/aidvenezuela/@aid.venezuela/foodforlifenextobjectivesandsmallviewoftheprogram-mdx2ynaeqk
I hope @Zaxan does not mind me sharing a little about my interaction with him before he started aid.venezuela & FOOD FOR LIFE PROGRAM. Actually it was a month ago today. I could tell the desperation in the chat I had with @zaxan. @zaxan in the past warned me when someone from his country was trying to cheat me. I did not get that feeling and trusted my heart and sent a little steem to help. I will not include all our discussion, but suffice it to say that he shared with me how bad things were.
He began sharing photos from Venezuela in his posts. I highly recommend you take the time and read some of @zaxan's posts since March 12th, and @aid.venezuela's posts since inception.
I share a little of this interaction I had in March because of the change in @Zaxan. I no longer "hear" desperation in our chats. Instead I find a young man who is driven to help his countrymen and women (and Children). I see someone who has accomplish a lot in a months time. I see someone with HOPE, and trying to spread that hope. He is doing everything he can to show proof of where the donations are going.
This change needs to spread, like ripples in a pond when a small pebble is dropped into the water.
I know that many here on steemit cannot afford to delegate SP, and many do not have enough SP to have much effect on upvoting. When upvoting even a small amount can add up if enough small users do it. Those with more SP voting power can make a bigger splash.
Another excellent way to help is to use @steembasicincome (SBI). When you purchase any number of units for (let us say) @aid.venezuela, you receive the same number of units. This increases the size of upvote you will receive SBI when you post, and it helps @aid.venezuela. In the event you are not posting much, then they upvote your comments. This will continue as long as SBI is functioning.
I am adding this paragraph because I received a tip from #positivexposure, which I forwarded to @aid.venezuela. Thank you! This is another excellent way to help @aid.venezuela.
I appreciate all readers for their patience in reading this post. I hope you will resteem this post so as many people s possible can read it. Do the same for @aid.venezuela's latest post for more information than I can provide:
https://steemit.com/aidvenezuela/@aid.venezuela/foodforlifenextobjectivesandsmallviewoftheprogram-mdx2ynaeqk
I have longed envisioned the potential of Steemit for people from all walks of life, from all parts of the world to interact without interference of governments. Governments are quite insidious in molding the people's minds. Now is the time to undo some of that which has been done to us by our governments, and instead change it to people helping people, humans helping humans (steemians helping steemians).
I noticed #theluvbug blog today and want to support them, but also to gain exposure for #aid.venezuela.
Godspeed!
On April 13th @aid.venezuela uploaded a new post that should be of interest. I have read it very quickly and will get back to it to read again, comment and upvote, when my hectic schedule eases. Here is the current post: https://steemit.com/aidvenezuela/@aid.venezuela/foodforlifeguidanseforprogramorganization-1ehbc93x2g
Thank you very much for all your support and for dedicating this small space to spread the blockchain a little more about our project, no doubt you have been an Angel who has brought light before so much darkness that lashes our territory.
We hope many more people will be able to join this work and that we can support as many communities as the blockchain allows us. Thank you very much from the bottom of our hearts.
It has been my pleasure. We have the opportunity to do so much.
I recall in a chat on March 13th with @zaxan the following:
"I feel all cases deserve the same attention. Not only Venezuela suffers, there are many countries that have problems. We hope that in the future the different charities in the blockchain can receive support in some way and not that things are simply centralized in fundition that takes a little while to receive resources."
The key in the discussions that I got was that other countries may benefit from the model of what is happening here.
Thank you for sharing this Grandpa!
Thank you hon. And thank you for reading this post! I know you have supported this cause as well.
I have also been affected with this kind of affection you have. You have done well and i stand with you to support. Thank you sir
@aid.venezuela will continue to have my support. It is well
Thank you very much. I am of the mind to pass it along!
I'm so happy the spring is finally here after this hard winter

Thank you
Some of the roses I see in Steam are the first time in my life I see them🌹
Thank you very much. I am glad you got to see roses.
Thank you so much for your continued support, Mr Cornell, it really is incredible how more and more people are watching the work and commenting on the work that is being done. We know that this is the beginning of so much more. Organisation, work and trust are what lead to a project going forward. Perhaps today there are few of us who believe in this but I am sure many more people will see it with very good eyes and will understand the spiritual benefit of supporting a good cause.
The human being is designed to be that, HUMAN, no matter how far away you are from that feeling but solidarity will always be there, you just have to ignite the spark that leads you to it.
Thank you very much. I appreciate it!
Sometimes it is just the right thing to do, without thought of spiritual reward or the thought of such. In stead the Great Spirit (or whatever name we give to it) moves through us and allows are hearts to open to something greater than our selves.
I remember a video that @blind-spot did after the terrorist attack in US at a Mosque. I am paraphrasing and in no way can I ever present the heart felt video he did. What I did hear was that we are all Human beings, and we are one.

Primero que nada de corazón muchas gracias por el apoyo hacia nuestro pais Venezuela @r2cornell, me da mucha pena con usted por ese episodio que vivió nunca falta quien quiera sacarle provecho a la buena voluntad de las personas que nos desean ayudar, de verdad que no aprendemos. Y si eso esperamos todos conseguir la fuerza necesaria para seguir luchando por la libertad de nuestro gran pais ESPERANZA esa es la palabra clave para lograr salir adelante, @Zaxan @aid.venezuela debemos apoyarlos ya que por lo que veo realizan un gran trabajo ayudando a compatriotas los cuales su situación es muy complicada por no decir otra palabra. Que tenga un excelente fin de semana y Dios lo Bendiga Hoy Mañana y Siempre por el cariño que le tiene a VENEZUELA.
Muchas gracias, y su bienvenida. ¡Lo aprecio!
A tí @r2cornell por que de verdad nos hace falta toda la ayuda posible y muchas más personas que de corazón lo hacen.
Dann kann das Jahr ja beginnen.
Vielen Dank für Ihren Besuch in meinem Blog.
Greetings @ r2cornell
The flower is yellow, the same yellow color of the Venezuelan flag The yellow color on the Venezuelan flag symbolizes the riches of the nation, the sun of the tropics, sovereignty, harmony and justice. Let us hope that we can soon emerge from the ruling tyranny of the country and grow as a productive nation, not only of mineral resources, but also of human talent. @ r2cornell, thank you for the support you give to the causes that require helpThank you for the information about the color on your countries flag. Sometimes my intuition comes true. I just knew it felt correct. The second flower I already know about.
Let us hope this is the start of a new beginnings for Venezuelans.

Thank you for the post of support to Venezuela people.
It is a pity that my voice is small.
Thank you. There is no such thing as "my voice is small". All voices together make one giant voice. You voice may just be the one that acts as a catalyst to take this whole thing to the next level.
I greatly appreciate your comment. Sending positive thoughts to the people of Venezuela can be very powerful.
Thank you for the good words!
You always do the best for everyone, helping others is a very good deed. Thank you for your kindness.

Flowers spread enthusiasm and beauty, a form of passion and beauty that is helping each other. Thanks for sharing this sir @r2cornell. Allow me to resteem it. Thanks
Thank you very much. I appreciate it!
The ancients said: one must strive to obtain worldly blessings in order to help friends in need! What deep human wisdom lies in these words. Thank you for your concern for people who are now in trouble.
Thank you. As I read your words a chill ran up my spine.
Your dedication to helping others is truly noble. I applaud you sir. If in Steemit there are many who want to donate a portion of their support for humanity, perhaps many investors will be interested in this platform. This is only in my opinion

Thank you very much. I appreciate it! I hope you are correct. I see the potential to help other areas of the world, but we have to start somewhere.
The step you take are very precise, because by starting with it, you are already one step ahead of the other person
