Hi @ebargains! Thanks for the nice comment and great ideas. Yes, we are implementing some of it, and I just love the application of Steemit and it's impact on the community.
Why, just last month, we raised quite a huge sum for a few homes just in time for Christmas, without a single "real" money. It's documented here.
Now, we realised that if we can teach the kids how to be active on Steemit and become content creators/curators, they and their homes will truly become self-sustainable.
By then, the word charity? Ain't gonna exist no more. :)
