šŸ„³ BIG Welcome and Introductions Thread

Hi everyone, Iā€™m Pin0x. For the past four years, I have been deeply involved in accounting and blockchain technology, dedicating myself to actively managing private funds through various DeFi protocols. I firmly believe that blockchain is the ideal solution for those who cannot access traditional finance.
I would like to share my knowledge to the adoption of blockchain technology in Latin America.

I love NFTs and also believe that they are the best point of contact with new people and also a way to onboard new users.

We have been runing during more than one year and three amazing events an initiative with @Danimonclou @0xj4an and other folks called @mercadonftarte in Colombia :colombia: and we will love to know more about Celo NFTs and your amazing collection.

Hello Celo community!! It is a pleasure to share with all of you the interest in this protocol. I am from Medellin, I had the great opportunity to spend 2 years in the CELO ambassador program. I am really moved by the purpose of financial inclusion and the versatility of Celo blockchain. I am an engineer specializing in blockchain, a business developer in the blockchain field and I firmly believe in decentralization as a mechanism to generate trust and thus transform the processes of society and how we relate.

Thanks a lot!!

Hello Celo World!

I am Isaacbrams a Global citizen, known professionally as Haruna Ibrahim Isaac, a Programmer II Officer at Veritas University in Abuja Nigeria. As a dedicated and certified advocate for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), I bring a wealth of experience as a web developer and certified Blockchain Professional. Also a proud Ex-official member of the prestigious Association of Business Executives UK and the Institute of Leadership and Management UK.

Being a social entrepreneur and wearing that hat, I leverage my expertise in Web2/Web3 Technologies to address real-world sustainability challenges. Hailing from Africa, a continent with a burgeoning population of 1.4 billion and marked by its youthfulness, I collaborate with exceptional individuals on impactful projects channeling my expertise to bring positive change to the world. My passion for sustainability is the driving force behind my work.

In my capacity as an SDGā€™s Advocate I steer towards projects with sustainable solutions and contribute to social good. Noteworthy among these is the Onyeisi Care Foundation, where our mission to eliminate all forms of barriers to the education of less privileged girls, out-of-school children, women, and people living with disabilities in underserved communities in Nigeria. To provide clean water and sanitation for rural primary and secondary schools, and community canters in Nigeria. To foster sustainable community development, systemic change and policy advocacy, and replicable models, best practices, and expertise that can contribute to global efforts in education, health, and overall community development.

I am also proud to be associated with the Chinua Achebe Literary Prize, a Web2 platform designed to illuminate the works of great authors and literary icons in the nation.

Adding to this tapestry is the Veritas University Endowment Foundation, dedicated to granting scholarships to the deserving and girlchild. With a targeted focus on Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs), who are vulnerable to terrorism and prostitution, the foundation extends its support to research on tropical diseases, peace, and conflict issues.

Recently, I had the privilege of working on the Celo Tribe Club Website, where I encountered the remarkable Celo Blockchain. Celo Tribe is an organization committed to inspiring, educating, and empowering youth worldwide through the transformative power of the Celo Blockchain. The alignment of Celoā€™s mission, vision, and ethos with my personal purpose is truly commendable, and I express my admiration for the visionary leadership of the founder, @hawwal.

Looking ahead, my aspirations involve contributing to more life-changing sustainability solutions, particularly in healthcare and fintech. I extend an invitation to connect with me on Twitter and LinkedIn (@isaacbrams) .

Hello frens, thought about sharing a little bit about my self and crypto journey on this thread. Iā€™m Anthony Niragire from Uganda. Iā€™m a Celo moderator since 2021. I learnt about crypto in 2016, but I got actively involved in 2017. I now work full time crypto. My journey as a community manager started back 2017 as a volunteer (Binance Angel), back then when binance was starting to boom with the 2017 bullrun. In 2021, I learn about Celo through my friend @Umarsebyala from Uganda. I got excited and fell in love with Celoā€™s Mission. The Mobile payments part caught my attention because here in Africa we mostly use mobile phones. I learnt about Valora in the process, I tried it and was really impressed by the ability to send payments through phone numbers. I became active in the ecosystem and thatā€™s how I ended up as a Community moderator in 2021, itā€™s been an exciting 3 yrs now and Iā€™m always available and happy to help Celo community :raised_hands:

Feel free to connect, Iā€™m @degen_knight on discord and telegram. @0xDegenKnight on Twitter
