OK so this week I nominate @socialbot!
It is in service to @schoolforsdg4, so in essence, it is an extra way to fundraise for the kids!
@schoolforsdg4 is giving slum children in Bangladesh access to an education, and they get some of their funding from Steem. Steem also supports their weekly fruits program to help the kids get some good nutrition, and the @womenempowerment program, which teaches women sewing skills so they can have a business and earn an income.
All of these programs are run by @azizbd.
People can support with upvotes and direct donations to the school of course, but also with socialbot, by using the service to buy upvotes (you can send between 0.1-0.75 Steem for a vote) or by delegating to the bot. Delegators also get a daily payout, so it's a win-win situation!

@ecoinstant, and all participating,

Congratulations to everyone that won on this Week 1 contest:

I missed the deadline, I fear, when I turned in my submission for the @steemterminal, @heyhaveyamet, and @steem-aide communities, but I know many of the wonderful people in these listed communities, and congratulate you for standing up, and promoting positive energy on our blockchain!! Thank you again @ecoinstant, for allowing us a place to support those who are #buildingbetter !tip

Keep playing @wesphilbin, I would only ask that you would take the nominations one at a time (1 group/project per week) - and please be patient with me as I am using this soft launch period to tune up the rules and my post templates.

Soon the real competition for the grand prize will begin!

this is my nomination for this week.....

Firstly, the subject of my report is the @freewritehouse.

@freewritehouse is a non-profit that is nominally about providing opportunities for Steemians to exercise their writing muscles, but it has become so much more. As a community, @freewritehouse has worked to welcome new Steemians, and given them a daily task (#freewrite) that is both simple enough that anyone can do it, and engaging enough that it provides real value to the larger community. They've also been sponsoring contests for years that has the ultimate effect of more users spending more time on the platform. All that time on the platform makes folks invested in the success of the platform and has gotten more than one person to buy and power up Steem themselves. (I count myself among those.)

Who: the community of freewriters, founded by many, but most notably @mariannewest
What: tasks, community events, contests, writing, supporting
Where: online at @freewritehouse and @mariannewest and IRL, as freewriters have built friendships that lead them to visiting each other
When: every day, sometimes multiple times a day
Why: to engage users, to improve writing skills, to build relationships, express creativity
How: by organizing community members to reach out to each other, by offering writing prompts to get the gears turning, by hosting contests to reward engagement, by collecting knowledge and teaching resources and acting as a hub disseminating supportive, non-judgemental goofiness~borrowed from @Improv because it is written so well

Hello brother @ecoinstant.

This time I want to introduce "HispaPro".

Space created to promote the different projects and activities that are developed within the large ecosystem STEEM. The objective is to disseminate and support them in their growth and consolidation within the platform.

WHO

@yeceniacarolina y @yonnathang

WHAT

It is an activity where live interviews are conducted with project leaders who give value to STEEM.

WHERE

The place to develop it. Discord Server Team-MéxicoPRO, every Tuesday 6:15pm (Caracas, Venezuela time) - (10:00pm UTC.)
Note: In the "#chat-channel-radio" room.

WHY

Within STEEM, there are many quality projects striving to grow our community.
Many of them go unnoticed by most steemians.

That is why it is necessary to open a window for the dissemination of such projects. Show which is the work they are doing, how they do it and how we can integrate.

For this reason I nominate "HispaPro" a tool to visualize the promoters of the blockchain.

HOW

The dynamic involves a conservatory between the guest and the moderators (@yeceniacarolina and @yonnathang), where questions are shared and asked to the guest (project leaders).

It is a question of investigating some aspects of their daily life and then manages to make an exposition of the project itself which leads.

Every week, we have an audience that is previously invited through a publication. As the interview progresses, the questions of those present are clarified by our guest.

  • Note: At the end of the program questions are asked to the present audience. Some STEEM rewards are distributed. Thanks to the collaboration of @team-mexico.

Thank you for your words friend @ecoinstar.

For about 3 months now, in conversations. I coincided in a restlessness with my friend @yeceniacarolina.

We observe that within the platform there are many projects that give value to steem, but that have little visibility.

Those are the conceptual origins of HispaPro. A tool to spread the good things that are done within the platform. Every week more "radio listeners" are added. We share closely with these project leaders, sometimes little known. They show us their work.

How long ago did the interviews start?

The first program was held on Tuesday, August 13. Our guest was gaborockstar. A tireless promoter of Steem, for about 2 years.

Here is the link to the invitation we made at that time.

https://steemit.com/spanish/@yonnathang/hispapro-llega-al-team-mexico

For everything, we have made 4 presentations. Every Tuesday since the first one.

https://steemit.com/spanish/@yeceniacarolina/hispapro-presenta-a-lenonmc21-co-fundador-del-proyecto-erarium

https://steemit.com/palnet/@yeceniacarolina/hispapro-presenta-a-zenkly-skatitauriazul-creadores-del-proyecto-mosqueteros

https://steemit.com/int/@yonnathang/hispapro-presenta-a-kantos-creador-del-proyecto-compromiso-de-amor-y-fundacion-kantoria-hispapro-presents-kantos-creator-of-the

You guys record the radio show?

As the project is relatively young, we are working every week to improve every aspect.
We started recording the broadcasts this past Tuesday. The link is attached.

Would they be nominating moderators?

For now, we @yeceniacarolina and @yonnathang are in charge of the production, public relations and moderation of the program.

The current nomination is for us as moderators, we do not have an official program account. Soon we will give solution to that!

Each week the work we do is more methodical, professional and quality. So we don't rule out that the team continues to grow, for the better.

Nota: Soon we will incorporate a translator, to invite English-speaking leaders. To you for example ;)

  • Marlians.

In my opinion this project is effective one and it's a creation by @surpassinggoogle. He is trying to monetise dreams of others by bringing the ULOGS into picture which means content which derives you for being you. @surpassinggoogle is in the list of speakers this time for SteemFest 4 and we can find more in depth ideas for this space.

This project is created by @dmilliz, @miyard and @donald.porter and this is about Jamaican Music and Culture but most importantly, in my opinion these people putting efforts and step by step succeeding to integrate different use cases for JAHM Token specially for Tourism and Hotels. For more more we can check out https://www.reggaesteem.io/ interface.

Have a wonderful time ahead and stay blessed.

Hey thanks for the mention. ReggaeSteem was created by all three of us though. It was a mutual idea that we decided to work together on as a team. Team work makes the dream work 😬
