Week 2 Updates: https://hivel.ink/@cbrsphilanthropy/helping-a-school-in-venezuela-week-2-updates
What we thought would take about 3 months took us just 3 weeks. Together with #Monero and #Hive we managed to get a total of $1000 in funding. That's already 2/3 of the total amount needed.
As always we want to be as transparent as possible and show exactly what is happening with the funds, at the school and what out team are planning.
Monero Updates
In our week 2 updates we announced reaching $700 in funding. In week 3 our biggest supporter in funds was yet again the beautiful Monero community with a wapping 336 HIVE.
Like we said, we want to be as transparent as possible and there for show our updates to the Monero community and supporters. When we registered our Fundraiser on Kuno we asked for a full amount of 12 XMR. Back then the prize was different and so 12 XMR was almost $1500. Since we not only get funding through Monero, but also from Hive, we changed the needed amount to 9 XMR and as we can see, we will have to probobly change it to 8 very soon.
The reason we keep on lowering it down is because we want to show Monero supporters how far we are with the funding all together combined.
✅Teaching Monero
Yes! You are reading it right. We managed to contact an amazing Spanish speaking teacher from Uruguay and his name is Ernesto (Thank you Douglas Tuman for tagging him on Twitter, I hope you are reading this update). He knows everything there is to know about Bitcoin and Monero. He is the perfect person to teach the fundamentals and what Monero stands for. He has been teaching kids for some time now so he understands how to approach kids with this information. Thank you Ernesto!

Hive Updates
Ok, time for some #Hive updates. The second week update has reached loads of new Hivians and we got to introduce our project to new communities as well. Let's get down to some funding and Donations on Hive.
Since our articles get 50% HBD/50% HP in rewards we ofcourse also calculated all the HP we gathered and started powering down. It's not a lot, but every little bit get's us closer to our goal.
We also got a generous donation of 25 HIVE from the amazing 
Again a big Thank You to @OCD for curating our articles and also for supporting us with not only votes but also pushing our posts so that more people could see it.
We had to update the post cause we were forgot to mention the support we keep on getting from 
School Updates
So to start off 
Let's dive in to the Art for a bit. So our idea is to have one side of the wall dedicated to Monero and the other side to Hive. We already have an amazing artist who will paint the walls. Too bad he is not yet on Hive, but we will get there soon enough.
Please checkout his Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/grimaldi_artt
First he is going to create #MoneroChan as a Digital Art and then we are going to sell it on the Monero Market. The reason for selling this peace of art is because we have to pay the artist $180 for creatin 4 peaces or art 150cm by 120 cm on the walls plus one Digital Art of MoneroChan. These extra costs were not calculated in the total needed fund of $1500. Hope the Monero Community won't be angry at us for selling their Mascot to them.
We are still brainstorming on the 2nd art for Monero and the other 2 art peaces for Hive. If you have any ideas, please leave a comment.
Ok, let us show you the Classroom 🤩

The Poster Contest
As some of you already know we started a Hive Poster Contest 5 days ago and so far we only have two entries. We were really hoping that more artists would support us with their art, but we still have time left so fingers crossed.
Here are the two very beautiful Art peaces that entered the contest.

Next Steps
We know, it all moving slowly, but that is the paste in #Venezuela. Everything there slows down and since our team is small we can't rush things. We are all doing this in our free time or even when we have to work.
In the upcoming days we will hoophuly have a list of things the repairguy needs to buy so we can finally start. @Nahupuku and @Orimusic will be visiting the school to document the process by making pictures and videos.
Once the Classroom is painted white the artist can finally start painting his first MoneroChan masterpeace on one of the walls. We should have more art peaces chosen for him to paint by then.
Once the Classroom is finnished we will start looking for used Laptops and computers. We would like to have at least 2 laptops before the school orders internet for the upcoming 6 months.
This structure is not yet set to stone so still a lot can change, but we will be there updating each and everyone of you ❤️
Thank you everyone for all your support. We believe in this project and we hope that you believe as well. Let's start making some changes together no matter how small they are. ❤️
