Take a look at this picture. This is a quantity of food which @bigdude purchased to feed his family...

His Steemit posts, promoted by Whaleshares curation, gave him the funds to do this.

Living in Venezuela (which you may or may not know is experiencing an economic crisis) many of the population have struggled financially. The collapse of their economic system has led to hyper inflation. In a few of his posts @bigdude explains the situation. The posts were interesting and offered real figures from someone whose life was affected by this. For example knowing that the minimum wage is now $6 per month and that toothpaste, at 30c, is too expensive for many people is far more insightful than a politically biased TV news report. They were good posts...

And they weren't getting rewarded.

However Steemit is a great equaliser. Everyone earns the same rewards, no matter where in the world they are.

Now look at this picture.

This is food, paid for by our upvotes, going to people in need. Whaleshares Curation, with it's 'seek out and promote' approach helped address the problem of @bigdude's worthy work not getting proper attention.

I'm very proud we've been able to help with this.

If you'd like to help too you could follow @bigdude and consider upvoting his posts.

You could come along and listen to Whaleshares Curation. We're doing hard work to ensure good posts get noticed and rewarded and there are numerous ways to get involved.
