Team #1: Curation Report Week 1 - January, 2025.

Reason: The author highlights the importance of celebrating the new year with joy, enthusiasm and gratitude. He also shares with us a little bit of what the street parties are like in Nigeria with typical dances, lots of joy and simplicity of heart. He prioritizes the fact of going to the Church of the Cross to celebrate in communion with Christians and giving thanks for a new year.

This post stands out due to its detailed and heart whelming story of a family holiday in Banda Aceh. The author has shared a complete picture of the trip, including their activities, local attractions with clear images. It reminds that these personal moments, and travel experience with family builds a strong relationship, and happiness within each others. So, this post deserves more recognition for the effort and enjoyable read.

Reason: This post struck me for its warmth and simplicity in sharing such an intimate Christmas tradition as preparing hallacas. The author manages to convey a sense of family and community, combining everyday gestures, like the walk with Teresita, with moments of sharing and collaboration. The story is authentic and engaging.

Reason: The author tells us in a brief summary all about her year 2024 with very difficult family trials, among them the two clinical surgeries to her daughters for different pathologies. Steemit was a great help to her, because thanks to her investment she was able to cover part of the expenses. She was also able to buy a car and change jobs. Everything is better for her and she comes to 2025 with much optimism that things will be a blessing after overcoming so many difficult trials.

Reason: This post deserves a place among the top posts, for it's creativity and the effort put in to generate the Mandela Design. The author provides clear, step by step instructions with images to draw the art. She has associated the new year vibe to that as well. So, I think her effort is sutable for more recognition.

Reason: This post inspires with its depth and universal message: living as "artists of life," turning obstacles into opportunities and finding beauty in imperfection. The author invites us to create meaning not just for ourselves but also for others through simple and mindful gestures. With poetic language, it delivers a powerful call to live 2025 with gratitude, courage, and an open heart, making every moment a work of art.

Reason: A beautiful Christmas celebration where they took special time to go to church and witness the human nativity scene, the whole ecclesial program of their faith community. The food made by her and her family, the gifts and all the festive display in her home, told in the best way with excellent photographs that illustrate it.
