Bits Of Good

This is the most bitter project update I've had to write to date, as on top of the sanitary and economic implications of the COVID-19 pandemic, this past weekend Tropical Storm Amanda has hit my country El Salvador killing at least fifteen people, including an eight year old boy after the house he was in at the time of the storm collapsed.

Almost every country in the world has asked their population to stay at home to help fight COVID-19. But what happens when you live in a place so unsafe that it can pose a threat to your own life? This needs to change, and we need to make safe homes for everyone everywhere one of our top priorities as we walk out of this pandemic. Dignified homes for all needs to become part of our new normal.

With COVID-19 lock down bringing families under the poverty line and natural disasters still hitting us regardless of how frail our situation is, the mission of the One More Home project is now more important than ever, and so is the energy and motivation to reach the goal of helping New Story Charity build at least three homes in the next three years, as part of their Architects Program.

One More Home, migrated to Uphold

After Wietse Wind announced the XRP Tip Bot -the backbone of the One More Home XRP fundraiser- was going to be migrated to Uphold, the process to complete the switch over to Uphold was completed successfully.

The migration took two steps. The first one, to move the XRP balance at the time of migration to the new XRPL address:

The second step involved migrating the account to Uphold. It was a great pleasure to see the first donation come through as it came from a strong supporter of the project and the GSG charities, @sandking1252:

A big thank you to Wietse for having helped out monitor the withdrawal of 51385 XRP to the new address and to Sandking for his continuous and generous support. Also a huge thanks to the XRP Community for always standing behind this initiative.
