Days ago, I made this post intimating the Hive community the need for users to reach out to non-hivers out there with free gift in order to show that with Hive, value is placed on Humanity. As I promised, this will be my major project for the year 2021 and the distribution would cut through secondary through tertiary institution students.
Schools would be resuming on Monday, 18th January, 2021 and I decided to make sample prints in order to confirm quality as well as cost. With the branded exercise books, students out there would be informed about Hive and the several Hive communities and projects that we have.
I will extend the project to cover as much communities as possible that would support this initiative. Each set of books would present a particular communities in summarized paragraph but detailed enough to convey the basic and important information. This would go a long way to help onboard new content creators as well as investors to the blockchain.
In the sample prints, I decided to cover the HIVE brand and @Heartchurch community. That was my foremost community where I learnt charity services in a project tagged #SeedsOfLove. I believe that with earnings from cryptocurrency, we can make the world a better place by spreading the wealth. Assume that everyone of us engage in project or the other to promote Hive in our different locality, then in no time, we'll have Hive and Hive communities become a household name.
The fun part of the exercise is that I'm involved in the entire book production process from design to the final finishing. The sample copies were finished using manual machines as the automated machines are used for bulk productions. It was exciting to have the young people who were a part of the production team take a shot with me and @Tomlee.
As at today's exchange rate and with the present prices of goods in Nigeria, producing a 60 leaved exercise book costs NGN 130 ($0.32), that's equivalent to 2.7 HIVE or 0.67LEO. I trust that bulk production would help reduce the cost. I'll be going for batches of 100 each time or multiples of 100 depending on amount of funds generated. However, the prices would always vary with crypto prices and exchange rates.
The books would be distributed free to all beneficiaries and it's my dream that it would in the future get into the hands of all learners in Nigeria.
We plan for the future Today!
