RE: PROJECT #HOPE - Help us grow by making a simple change

It is a great initiative, and I'm always happy to support the efforts and visibility of those efforts of inventive authors and intelligent, creative people who regularly put the intelligence and creativity to good use. People, human beings, always carry great potential for creativity in some field and I would never say that somebody is nonintelligent or noncreative, I just wish that everybody finds the way and motivation to express and have fun with those characteristics that we all have. :) I almost forgot what I wanted to say ... I staked the PAL and did all steps until ''You will have to click "advanced" button'' I can't find this button.

Great initiative Piotr, I followed your clear instructions for claiming and staking. You should now have an extra 305 PAL staked to you.

Inspired post.

Hi dear @crypto.piotr Thank you for being an important part of our story. When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed. Venezuelans are survivors of a political tsunami called socialism of the 21st century. Socially vulnerable people are disproportionately exposed to daily adversities.

_{“Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime”}

Thank you very much to support building social resilience in our country.

I think that, resilience is a process, not a trait. It involves how we interact and negotiate with ourselves, others, and our world; how we navigate through the resources that help us thrive; and how we move on a positive trajectory of success and health in the midst of adversity, trauma, and everyday stress. The three major protective factors that help us mitigate adversity and nourish personal strength are caring relationships, high expectations, and opportunities to participate and contribute.

Resilient people identify themselves as survivors rather than victims. They acknowledge that life comes with challenges and setbacks, which they can overcome. One person's support can be crucial in developing another's resilience, and this wonderful Social Media Platform Steemit has been a valuable tool that has helped many Venezuelans to grow within their own potentialities and perhaps their creators do not know it.

I am convinced that our perseverance through tough times can make us stronger. Challenging life experiences can be opportunities for growth and change.

The situation in Venezuela is a disaster. Having the highest inflation in the world, after four consecutive years, is making the minimum monthly wage of the Venezuelans the lowest in the world: five dollars a month! There is no economy that can survive this situation. There is widespread discouragement in society and there is a desire to move to other countries. The government, supported by the military, has full control of power in the country: executive, judicial and legislative. President Maduro has absolute powers and may dictate the law without consulting the legislative assembly. On the other hand, the opposition is divided and weakened: many of its leaders are imprisoned. There is no alternative plan. The most painful thing is that, despite all the power, the government is not able to find solutions to the problems of the nation: inflation to the stars, lack of food and medicine, violence and impunity, corruption… Its only obsession is to remain in power.

When so many things fail, when people go hungry, when there are no medicines and hospitals do not have the means to take care of the sick, when there is no hope for change, when families break up because of emigration, the national government refuses to recognize the terrible situation we are experiencing. Inflation makes many products unattainable with our money.

For a country in our situation, I believe that you need to see your circumstance as a positive development and not a negative one. What I am trying to say is that we have to rejoice in the natural gifts that have been given to us, and that rate of failure and a willingness to try again seems teach a few practical lessons in being resilient, incorporates a shift from a problem-based deficit model to a strengths-based one.

What gives me hope is reading or hearing about all the people all over the world from so many cultures who are working in so many ways to help our country recover.

PROJECT #HOPE Beautiful gesture, it is a source of inspiration and motivation for many Venezuelans, an opportunity to moving hearts and minds to develop the human potentialities of many people. But also, from this space we want to tell the world our reality, which is not only to make money from the Social Media Platform Steemit, it is so that other people understand the cruelest adversities that we are living in Venezuela and we do not surrender, we keep fighting until take out of our lives this evil political experiment.

I believe that hope always triumphs and I believe that love is stronger than death.

_{“To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places—and there are so many—where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don’t have to wait for some grand utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human beings should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory.”}

Thank you for being you!
Have a great weekend
A big hug for you

Last time I checked the Claiming requires entering active key and not just posting key.
Hence I'm reluctant to claim.

That drop of air, I see it very little, for those who have very little power to vote, while the whale drops more PAL, small fish fall 0.01, 0.10 PAL very few

I think it was better that PAL gave 5 tokens for each account with a reputation of 50, because what I received is approximately 0.300 PAL.

Well, can't get this to work it seems.. shite. :/

Inspiring post.
Anyway, I have tried to claim. It said that transaction on the way. So I waited it.

Thanks @crypto.piotr! This is a great initiative to reward the efforts of the Venezuelan content creators.

As a survivor of this great tsunami called "XXI Century Socialism", I can affirm that any help, however small, is welcome, and decentralized platforms like Steemit or similar ones, are a great opportunity to generate income that can solve the daily hardships, unfortunately, the universe of users in Steemit has been decreasing with the passage of time, so any project that allows to continue generating rewards, is praiseworthy.

About two weeks ago, I claimed and changed the tokens I got from PAL, I did not have other options to complement my dwindling income, however, I'm sure there are others who can support the growth of this project. Successes!

Yours,
Manuel

It appears I am too late, as I got nothing when I claimed them.

Since neither steem-engine nor palnet support SteemConnect, how do we know that they are genuine sites? I'm sure you understand that I'm not willing to punch my STEEM keys into a site that may be a phishing site.

@crypto.piotr thanks for messaging me about this again. I think I did it right, or at least I hope so.

I don't see a PALnet logo:

There is something wrong with the instructions.

Correction: The AirDrop itself has a bug. I'm loosing faith in the project. Starting with the AirDrop instructions being a comment on a comment instead of a proper posting.

Compare that with @digital.mine who repeats his announcement postings daily so those who missed the first posting have a 2nd change to see it. Missing posting (not to mention comments on comments) is quite likely. Time zones are a thing.

This tastes a bit of stealth airdrop for insiders only.

I followed steps and it still say 0 pal, like i didnt get that claim tokens :(

Posted using Partiko Android

I was not able to see the blue icon. Can you help ke check whether i am airdropped or not because i can not find the blue icon

• Here You go Bro
  

I like the initiative
I followed the steps but I do not know if I did it well 😆

It is done -- best to you on this project!

LOL!!!

It's just that simple :)

For you. Omg. I read these instructions (password? I need to hunt down my password again?) and my eyes glaze over and suddenly I must go walk the dogs again. Ok. Deep breath. I can figure this out. My apologies for having failed to see the message in my wallet before the expiration date of the airdrop tokens. In case anyone needs to find me, the one thing I check daily is Replies to my posts. I'm not even on Discord anymore. What a world, where we message each other's wallets - LOL! - someday I will drag all of myself out of the 20th Century and into the new millennium. (Dang, I'm slow. I know. I know.) Thank you for this intitiative and may all other Steemians be more "with it" than I am!
