Everyone in Venezuela knows that venezuelans are greedy persons, venezuelans loves easy money. Charity projects in Steemit for helping people that lives in the street are rapidly popularizing and creating controversy in social networks, but hold for a second and think, how do you know that these people are been transparent?
Food in Venezuela is very cheap, most of this projects are about feeding people from the streets, let me tell you something, THAT WILL NOT CHANGE THE SITUATION, its a lovely initiative I cant deny, but I know from people who gave food and clothes to people from the streets and they changed it for drugs, cigarrettes, and other, so, what is the real point?
I think that some people uses money from donations to leave the country, or buying stuff for themselves, they show that apparently they bought a lot of food, but in Venezuela you can buy a lot of food with 50$, I heard that some organization has received more than 16000USD donations in crypto, I dont think that they used entirely for giving food to the poor, People doesn't know how much a dollar worth in Venezuela, an example, you can buy a burguer and a soda for 1,2 dollars. you can buy bread and cheese for 1 dollar, if you buy flour for making ''arepas'' you can buy 4 kilos for 1 dollar, so... I dont think this organizations are been transparent, you can see the price of Bolivar in this page https://twitter.com/dolartoday?lang=es I really dont know if they're doing it well, but remember something, venezuelans are very sly and persuasive,
I like helping people, I hate to see somebody eating from the garbage, or sick by malnourishment, I always help people I see in the street, I have nothing againts that, but lets be honest, this will not fix that terrible economic crisis.
I would like that people who receives this help was workers, people that works hard everyday for a salary of 2 dollars, they really need help, workers are the engines of the country, not people that lives in the streets, sometimes they are sunch a bunch of antisocial drug addicts that will never be truthly grateful with your help, sometimes they are bad people who will stealth from you if they can, they will sell the food that you gave them for buying crack or alcohol, I think is better to help workers than indigents, I will love to make a project and upload videos from people receiving its food, but I will only like to help workers and lonely elders.
I started a chatiry project before, but I stopped it because I was dissapointed of gratitude I received from people who lives in the street, thats the reason I will start a new one with workers not indigents.
None of this will fix Venezuela's situation, but we do what we can, if you're honestly doing your job and you do it with love, its alright.
Thanks for reading.
