So i'm getting set to leave the city where I reside, to a village. I'm currently on my National Youth Service, this is a mandatory scheme for every graduate in my country Nigeria, we are required to serve our nation and mine was to teach at a village in Olamaboro LGA, Kogi State, so while i'm preparing to resume duty, i'm also preparing to use the steemit platform to touch lives over there.
This is suppose to be a difficult task for me as this village is under developed, it's more like a village inside a forest and to top it all there's no cellular network, so the moment I get to that village, i'll be cut off from communication, else i take a trip to the neighboring town which I plan to do often, so I've scheduled myself for the time frame I would be available online and for communication and also when i won't be. The good thing is, I have the opportunity to leave that village and serve in a more developed area but no I don't want to, I believe the lives that really needs to be touched are those with less hope of survival and they are mostly found in under developed areas, I plan to create hope for them. I'll be there for the next 10 months and I plan to do a lot but like I said earlier i know it won't be easy, so am counting on my hard work and support from the Steemian Community. Let me tell you a little secret, I think I would be creating my own cellular network in that village, I don't know how I would achieve that yet but...courtesy (would be): Steemit.
So about my preparations, the most important thing is to let the people know who made it possible for their lives to be touched, so my first preparation is branding myself with the Steemit identity. Planning to make a t-shirt, and sometimes I get indecisive, I have few options below;
Am an unapologetic Nigeria and a good citizen of the Steemians Community, i've always wanted to touch lives but it has been difficult for me till I found Steemit, am less than a month here and all I want to see is this platform soaring high, after making of the t-shirt, I would make other promotional items.
I spoke about, "How Steemit can eradicate poverty in your community" some days back, here>> https://steemit.com/promo-steem/@ofishea/how-steemit-can-eradicate-poverty-in-your-community
But I can only write and make impact on communities in my reach, but I would encourage everyone to take this as a selfless mission, 1 by 1 we would touch lives around till we touch the world. We rise by lifting others.
