During the visit to rural communities benefiting from Hive boreholes, the impact of the Hive blockchain on people's lives was an inspiration. Access to clean water is more than a need. It's a lifeline bringing a turn for these villages in a positive direction. People around there were extremely thankful for what has been done by Hive, and they are eager to be a part of this ecosystem that brought so much change to their everyday lives.
The most striking thing though, must be how eager they would want to join us on Hive, seeing the prospect it holds, not just as a platform, but a gateway into the world at large. Most are even more willing to tell their stories and be counted in something bigger but all this, again seems an impossible order because of lack of access to some of the most basic equipment, such as access to the Internet, which many can hardly afford. This limitation hinders their immediate involvement, despite their willingness to participate.
Another inspiring observation is how participants of these communities, even the ones among them who possess low technological literacy—are seriously interested in learning all about Hive. Their enthusiasm is really heartwarming, and they express the desire to be part of the Hive blockchain someday. The fact alone of their eagerness to learn and grow within the Hive ecosystem means the blockchain is already doing something right, even in the unlikeliest of places—where connectivity and tech infrastructures are still coming along.
Everyone in these villages who benefited from the boreholes is so eager and more than ready to join Hive once they get access to the internet. Joy and gratitude in their hearts reflect a desire to pay back to the same community that has uplifted them. We shall continue spreading the message about Hive, aware of the tremendous difference it brought into people's lives. The future holds the promise of even more lives being touched as the Hive community grows, building on its already extensive reach.
In the meantime, we are committed to continuing our support of these communities, and when the connectivity barriers are bridged, we will open our arms to them into the Hive ecosystem. The journey has just begun, and we're thrilled about what's ahead.
