Today I would like to tell you about the Steemit Education Initiative that my friends @cryptokraze and @techblogger have started in Pakistan.
@cryptokraze is a lecturer at the Govt College of Technology Sahiwal, in Pakistan with a passion for Crypto, and @techblogger is an American living in Thailand, teaching History. I met both of these guys in @adsactly's discord, and I am so thankful for that.
So, without more blabbing from me, let me tell you about the Steemit Education Initiative
What is the Steem Education Initiative?
The Steem Education Initiative is an organization centered around educating university students around the world about the blockchain technology, the Steem blockchain and digital publishing on the Steemit social network. Its mission is to engage students in thoughtful discussions focused around improvement of English writing skills and the training necessary to publish content onto the Steem blockchain. This Initiative will enable students to have better lives by trainings given by us and managing their study expenses.

I live by the mantra "Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and feed him for a lifetime."
This is exactly what these guys are doing. They are empowering these Pakistanis.
I don't think that Steemians in Europe and America quite get what Steemit can do for people in poorer countries. For example - a post that gets a 30 SBD pay out, is (today) USD$150. In my currency that is R2100. Our minimum wage is R3500 (in my opinion a completely unlivable amount) - but I am just doing the maths for you.
That 30SBD is probably the same amount that I would spend on groceries for a little longer than a week, buying things like chicken and fresh veg. I am sure it would go much further with a poor family in Pakistan.
I ask that you don't upvote my post - but rather resteem it, and please go and upvote @cryptokraze's post here or get in touch with him directly to hear how you can help. You can also follow @steemeducate to stay up to date with them
๐บ Thank you my Steemians. I am so happy that we are able to good with this platform. ๐บ

I am overwhelmed by the support and encouragement you have given us. And yes these $150 can pay a student fees and it can be groceries for whole month for some families.
Thank you so much for extending your support.
Love this quote
A little SBD can definitely make a significant contribution to those unfortunate or underprivileged in Pakistan

Thank you - I appreciate that
30SBD is more than what i currently earn as an electrical electrician so its no joke. More people really need to get to know about steemit. Thanks for your good work.
Exactly! In America it's enough for lunch. :) Thank you for your comment
Thank you too for your steemit education
A great project by @cryptokraze and a nice post from you Mew.
@cryptokraze, if you ever need help with anything, you know where to find me. I love projects like this!
Cheers!
you're awesome!
Not much different from my country indonesia my sister @princessmewmew. SBD value is very helpful to fulfill daily life.
I support #SteemitEducation
thank you I give to you for helping them in your initiative and you are right, maybe for you it is not much money but for those of us who live in disadvantaged countries in opportunities is the difference between dining or not.
That is wonderful! I have started something like this for musicians in India. People who are talented but hardly get paid for their craft. Getting them on Steemit is showing them a way of sustaining themselves while they work on their skills and also build a genuine audience. โจ
Great work @princessmewmew
This initiative is really spot on and will help in bringing the steem blockchain as well as it potential into limelight for all.
I would really love to be part of this, I will love to be the arm of the @steemeducate here in Nigeria.
really nice idea! small but an attempt to make the results happy! I congratulate you on this.. upvote and resteem
a very beautiful work will give hope
You have a nice way
Very great initiative and i am proud of it.
