The past month went successfully with an increasing count of members.  This month our target is to give an acceleration for steem promotion in Sri Lanka. 

During September to the end of October, we are planning to spend our whole effort for increasing members from Sri Lanka. So far we have taken the following actions in order to increase the number of members coming from Sri Lanka. 
1. The basic telegram <a href="https://t.me/steemit_sri_lanka_community">group</a> to keep touch with members
2. Gathering members under hashtag #srilanka
3. Youtube promotion by @goldcoin
4. Youtube video series by @besticofinder

Apart from the current programs now we have taken two additional steps for promoting and gathering the community.

01. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/335329037893123/?ref=share">Steemit Sri Lanka</a> facebook group
02. <a href ="https://steemit.com/trending/hive-133716"> Steem Sri Lanka</a> Community

<h4>Why we need a Facebook community?</h4> Facebook is one of the most using social media in Sri Lanka. It is the easiest way to reach a big audience at once. The following are the main objectives we try to achieve by a Facebook community.
* Attract more people into steemit 
* Spreading latest updates to a wide audience
* Increase awareness and trust about steemit
* Provide support with native language
* Allowing our steemit members to share their valuable posts to a large audience

As the initial steps we created a Facebook Group, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/335329037893123/?ref=share">Steemit Sri Lanka</a> which is open to everyone to join.

We just created the group, during next week we will focus on further advancement of the community. All the Sri Lankans are invited to join.

<h4>Why we need a Steemit community?</h4>Obviously, as a growing community, we need one place to gather. So as we have a new country representative also, now we can make a strong community with help of everyone. 

Until now we all gathered around #srilanka tag and now we can join and use <a href ="https://steemit.com/trending/hive-133716"> Steem Sri Lanka</a> Community together. Upcoming contests and events will be published through the community. 

We would like to invite you to join and start posting in this fresh community as a start. Let's give time to grow.
