Wow thank you so much for your service and it's incredible that you got to witness Korea at the cusp of rapid development! We're very proud of the country's history. Unfortunately today's social atmosphere is not so optimistic...
Where in Peru are you? I've visited Lima and Cusco a few times a number of years back. The Pisco is definitely better there.
But seriously, I think you're absolutely right and the biggest impact social-media blockchain like Steemit can have is with struggling communities. I've done a number of projects in South America and would love to get involved in the future. Even in Korea, poor people still have access to recent technology and a 30 or 40SBD post who we life-changing.
I'm in Lima, Peru. With Project Andina, I offer Free Conversational English for both business and social, and free tutoring. Also other special projects that need funding. Hopefully I can accomplish this with Steemit!
Awesome. Well I'll be a close follower so do keep us updated on the institution's progress/process. I'm sure you'll find great support in the Steemit community. Buena suerte compan~ero!
