Introduction

We are thrilled to launch and present to you a project crowd-founded by members of SteemAlive comunity. This project is called Open Happiness. This post will explain what Open Happiness is all about and why the idea is was loved by almost everybody that was present when it was discussed. We hope to really touch the lives of SteemAlive members through this exciting project. So, What is Open Happiness?

Open Happiness - the idea, the project, the benefits!

How do you feel when you receive a very precious gift or much needed assistance from a friend or acquaintance? You no doubt felt excited. The truth is this: humans feel valued and remembered when they are recipients of acts of kindness. Many would agree with this quote from a well-respected holy book:

There is more happiness in giving than there is in receiving.

Giving brings happiness to the giver and the receiver - although the giver experiences more happiness than the receiver. Because giving makes all parties happy, we in SteemAlive community decided to launch this project that will unlock happiness and touch many lives through selfless giving and acts of kindness.

Open Happiness encourages SteemAlive members to think about how much impact they will make in another persons life through little acts of kindness. Everyone has something to give no matter how little. When we help each other through selfless giving, we make a lasting impression and personally contribute to a community where members feel that that they are not facing life challenges alone. We can be much more than just bloggers and crypto enthusiast. We can be real friends in need and that is what Open Happiness hopes to achieve.

How will Open Happiness work?

At the start of the week and before the end of it, each member of SteemAlive can start thinking about how to touch a live in small ways. We can give whatever we can to any active member that comes into our mind. This is no strict definition of what can be given. It may include:

• Our cryptos - Tron, Steem, SBD, other cryptos
• Fiat - Physical cash
• Tangible gifts
• Airtime
• Data
• Any other thing

These Gifts could be sent anytime within the week directly to the recipient. At the end of the week, we will make a post where recipients of gifts within the week use the comment section to express appreciation for what they got. Members of the community can thank the giver for touching lives that week.

Who should receive the gifts

We want to use the Open Happiness Project to encourage active engagement in SteemAlive community. We want to use this project to help our members see that being active in the community pays. So this project is strictly meant for active SteemAlive members. So the important question here is: Who is an active member? An active member:

• Makes at least 3 posts in a week
• Actively engages others through commenting on posts
• Participates in SteemAlive projects such as Contests, LIDs, etc
• Participates in Steemit projects such as Diary posts, Crypto Academy, etc
• Is visibly seen regularly in our Whatsapp and Discord discussions

Appreciating the giver

A popular quote says "Caregivers need care". So, we will make a post each week to appreciate all those that touched lives through the Open Happiness project. The post would be made in the middle of each week so as to also serve as a remainder to members to participate before the week runs out. We will set the givers as beneficiaries of the post. The community admins can also decide to support the givers in any other tangible ways.

How do we kick-off Open Happiness?

Today is the very launching day of Open Happiness. On Behalf of SteemAlive community, We are delighted to announce to you that Professor @gbenga of Crypto academy who is also an active member of SteemAlive community has donated 20,000 naira to Open Happiness. We did airtime giveaway few days ago and only few people won it. Professor @gbenga then elected to buy Airtime for all members of SteemAlive. 20,000 naira is currently the equivalent of 200steem.

We did a Google form in the morning today and asked our members to fill it so as to get the airtime giveaway. As you can see below, we have gotten 51 numbers:

After this post is published, we will start sending the airtime. Please once you get it, thank @gbenga in the comment section of this post.

Also, @focusnow also decided to touch 3 lives by sharing a total of 5000 naira cash them. He would later provide their names.

If you are a member os SteemAlive and you wish to give, you are free to give directly to any active members. You can choose to give through the community admin @focusnow. If you get a gift, please also mention it in this post so that we can appreciate the giver

Conclusion

Open Happiness is just like any other ideas or projects done by SteemAlive. Although we cannot predict the future, we are really optimistic that this project will change you and bring out the kindness in you. More important, we hope to make permanent impressions in the lives of fellow members in SteemAlive community.

We thank @steemcurator01 for always supporting our projects. To you our valued member, we thank you for supporting SteemAlive community. Together, we can rewrite history. Together we can touch lives through selfless giving. Let us Open Happiness!!! Together we can!!!!
