World Food Day Fundraiser for Cebu, the Philippines [Sndcastle Spotlight - @steemph.cebu]
In this “Spotlight” we interviewed @steemph.cebu about their community initiatives in Cebu, the Philippines. (50% of the SBD earned from this post will go directly to the @steemph.cebu account.)
Take a look at their work and please consider making a SBD donation to @steemph.cebu for the support of their World Food Day project. Each 1 SBD donated will go towards a child in need of a meal and a pair of slippers. Fellow Steemians, let's put our best foot forward and support this great initiative!

Steemit-Hub in Cebu. This will be the 1st Steemit-Hub to be set up in the Philippines. This aims to provide a shelter for Cebuano people in a lot of ways. We aim to provide an enthusiastic support for the needs of the people here like orientations, a center place for Steemians, query office, and some services for Steemit user’s convenience.
Large Steemit Orientations / Conventions : We aim to unite Cebuanos for a better community thru hosting Steemit orietations and conventions. We believe physical intervention is the best tool to hook the in joining the platform.

Congratulation steemph.cebu. More power for the community.
Thank you so much for featuring @steemph.cebu. They are an amazing group of people already doing so much for their community. We are all really proud of them, who they are, what they stand for and all they have yet to achieve.
It is very exciting for us at @SteemPh to watch .Cebu's progress with @sndbox and hope to soon follow their lead into the sndbox :)
Thank you for the kind words @bearone! That means a lot coming from you :)
Wow guys, this is amazing. As a member of @steemph core, especially I'm assigned in design too, I approve of the graphics you made here. Ours uses official Philippine flag colors but I like the subtle colors you used and, how you made everything feel all @sndbox-y. I'm just waiting on @bearone's take on it cause she made all oir graphics, especially the logo.
Thanks so much @deveerei, we're glad you (and @bearone) approve of the design work! :D
You're welcome. They look good. Worthy of praise.
Great idea and good professionalism
Very cool... makes me wonder, maybe Steemit should institute an official policy sometime that 1% or more of inflation or growth or something is dedicated to charitable causes, that could be an interesting and hugely positive part of the Steemit community, etc. Things to ponder (-:
That would be fantastic. There's a strong appetite for charitable endeavors and support on Steemit... the platform really lends itself towards crowdfunding initiatives. Thanks for the thoughtful feedback @clumsysilverdad.
I agree with this.
What a great idea and project, I hope you have great success with it. Upvoted and resteemed.
Thanks for spreading the word @tarekadam!
This is an awesome initiative. I really admire the community spirit that Filipinos have. I will do what I can to support the @steemph.cebu account. Keep up the generous spirit and may God bless abundantly.
Many thanks for the kind words and support for the @steemph.cebu community!
