### How did the idea of ​​making a mural come about?

---

One afternoon I was telling an artist friend about steemit, I told him that steemit is an excellent place for artists because here the community value art and make competitions in which he could participate. Living in Venezuela where a minimum monthly salary is $ 4 -5 $ Steemit could be an excellent option for him and for many  people in my country, **that's why I talk about Steemit  wherever i go.**




### That's why we wanted to leave a steemit brand in the city


At first the idea was to do it in a public place so that it could be seen by many people as they pass

We agreed that he would present a design and I would present it to the steemit community to make it a reality, the days passed and he presented the design:

In the days while I was waiting for the design, I received a letter from the director of a school in which they asked us through @youarehope for help to restore a playground because it was very deteriorated and presented a risk to the children of the school.

Since I already had some painting and art in mind, why not combine the two? I could do the mural inside the school and let the teachers ask about it and then tell them about Steemit. **And it was the best thing I could do...**


### We start with the mural

**Sketch by pencil and painting some blue base**

### Promoting Steemit inside the school

As I spent several days working at the school I had the opportunity to speak with all the teachers, to whom I explained that @Youarehope is a foundation in charge of helping people in need around the world, and that we exist within Steemit.com. I told them that in these times of crisis, it is an excellent opportunity to live in Venezuela



>*In the days that I spent working in the restoration of the park I could hear many teachers complain about the little they earn from salary, that they did not have enough to eat, hearing these teachers talk I could realize that they were really there **by vocation**, because They like to be educators, they do not do it for the money.*


I explained to each teacher that steemit is a page that pays to create content, publishing quality articles that people vote and those votes have monetary value in cryptocurrencies(Steem)  and obviously i invited  all them to join! I gave them a piece of paper with the steemit link (https://steemit.com)





#### and to make they never forget  it, we leave them a big mural 


---


so they could tell the parents of the children too, when they ask:

**Who restored the park?**


### Steemit & @youarehope did it
