I think it has been a month since I visited this elementary school far from the town. I interviewed a teacher to know more about the status of the students there. It saddened me to hear about how the children there didn't have enough school supplies. Some parents learned that I was thinking of donating school supplies there and they were happy about it. However, it didn't work as they expected because you know it's not easy to collect the budget for this project. I was embarrassed to answer them that it's still in process but I am encouraging them not to be disappointed yet. There is still hope because @chrisrice (dbuzz co-founder) is still working on it.
There were parents who were asking about the donation by relaying to the teacher I interviewed. I told them to wait a little bit longer because according to Chris, we are doing long-term support so be patient a little. It's just not easy to tolerate the pain of hearing when the teacher tells me that some students are going to school without enough school supplies. The classes have already started and some students keep borrowing pens, pencils and sometimes asking for paper when writing lessons on the board. Just like what the teacher told me a month ago they provided some school supplies but only for a small amount and not always. They don't always have it, considering the number of students who were asking regularly; Obviously, they will be out of stocks or spare school supplies in time.
I am writing this to ask for support about this project, not for my own benefit but for these children who are determined to go to school but don't have the materials to use. If you can check on my previous project, just like last time about fixing the basketball ring. It's not for the attention and fame, maybe but it's for the benefit of the community I am in. I can't bear to witness such hardship when there are ways I can do to help. Even though this is my only way to do it, I'm hoping that the hive community will hear my pleas for support.
Maybe just an upvote from someone who understands my intention and why I'm doing this will be a good help. In a way that after a week I can claim the rewards and withdraw it into cash to buy school supplies for these children. I posted it on other social media sites but I know the only platform that has many kind-hearted people can only be found in Hive. I'm not asking for a specific amount, even just a small amount that can provide notebooks, pens or pencils and papers for these 49 students is more than enough. This elementary school doesn't have a large population compared to others because it's like an isolated place. You can learn more about the details of this school in my previous post below which you can read later.
Please don't misunderstand me writing like this. I just don't want these children to wait for long when school supplies are being used almost every week. So once again, I'm asking for your support guys with this kind of project. We are talking about the future of these children. I hope that let us make their dreams and future brighter.
This was my previous post about asking for support for school supplies.

Way to go for your cause.
salamat po
Can u please provide proof of helping from your previous posts? Other than the Basketball one.
I think u need to ask for funds properly to earn the confidence of the community.
Just some digital bills etc.
I think the post that I asked support was just about fixing the basketball ring. The feeding was just my own initiative to help the children.
Maybe I'm not sure how to ask for support because I'm not used to this. It was @chrisrice who encouraged me to find a school that needs help. I did the research, investigation and interviews and I thought it was good enough. Can you tell me how to do it because I think I did it in a wrong way.
I am not an expert too. People usually like to see the expenses in forms of e-bills that they might verify by someone who lives in same country.
U know the world is filled with scams. Even if we wanna help, our heart and brain fight to justify if it's not another scam. I would suggest some documents or bills like how people show of medical bills when asking for funds. This case is different but there must be some way to let the readers know how much exactly is needed and verify that it was used to the right cause.
Ah, so that was it, well, I think for now I don't have something to show. When the basketball ring was fixed, it was because of the cooperation of the teenagers. I didn't go canvassing for products since no one asked about the materials that I would need.
What I did was asking for scrap materials from people who could provide the basketball board, and then for welding works. I only provided them with food, drinks after, there was no money involve. Basically, I did not spend that much.
However, in this recent post I asked for support from these children. I only did mentioned that even if it will be just pen, pencils, papers and notebooks and that will be for 59 students. I don't know the exact expenses for it since I have no idea the prices of these school supplies. Thanks for the information, I will write a different post for a better information, like details of the possible in expenses in acquiring those school supplies. And also, about scam things, I will be doing a video recording while letting the teacher and the children about what they received.
Thanks for understanding ☺️
You will slay it soon!
Of course, no hate because my intention is not for scamming. I will be gladly accept criticism or maybe, simply questions because it's true that it's hard to trust these days especially when it involves money.
By the way, I began asking the teacher about the notebooks and papers are needed of each child. Maybe a separate post will be better for it.
I am dropping a small upvote from Curation. I will be watching.
Make sure to win heart of people who might have any doubts.
Just imagine another scenario, u are good person but the other person who asked for funds might be scamming you? What if the teacher just takes 60% of the cut straight from the funding? We have to be careful in these materials and must document everything. Make sure kids also get the supplies.
Currently, the post didn't convince me but i am supporting you in hopes u will do better next time. If u had done it better, i would have been upvoting by more power/powers. All u need in one right eye (person) to get the exposure u r looking for. But those eyes will make sure u r not scamming or u r not being scammed too.

It will be good to cover Paul @mrnightmare89 and his efforts with schools on https://philnews.xyz someday.

Hey chris, help me to explain why I posted it here instead of posting it in other communities.
Hey, you are off to a great start, we learn by doing, great job.
I provided him with more context and also included a Google Drive spreadsheet with costs for the items I will order.
I will also get the costs of notebooks but @cliffhangerprint has been feeling a bit unwell lately.
