Title: Dai Educaiton (Bridges of Love) Initiative

Your name/handle: @web3developer

Links to Github issue/forum post/ or discussion thread: Dai can be used to develop resilience in local communities during the Covid pandemic.

Proposal abstract: I love DeFi and I see it as an engine for generating abundance in my personal life and I have done work with charities building donations via shopify. I believe DeFi can generate abundance for humanitarian relief organizations, also. This initiative aims to introduce leaders from those organizations to DeFi products in one-on-one sessions to give them an opportunity to fall in love with DeFi so that they drive web3 integration within their organization.

1. Produce a high-quality web3 explainer with MakerDAO branding.

2. Arrange 6 meetings with humanitarian relief organization(HRO) leaders using this message: “I love the work that (organization) is doing to provide humanitarian aid. I work with a technology that may be able to assist your organization in its efforts. I would like to set up a one-hour meeting with you to show you how to use the technology. I know your time is valuable so I will give you a gift worth $400 during our meeting. The only string attached is that I would like you to reach back out to me at any time in the future when you have ideas for how this technology can integrate into your organization. The integration won’t cost you anything, I just want to do what I can to drive resources to the mission of (organization).

Thank you for your consideration, [Signature]”

2. At the meeting:

• Introduce myself and the concept of web3 technology.
• Set the leader up with a web3 browser-enabled wallet.
• Send them $400 worth of ETH.
• Convert $320 worth of ETH to DAI through Uniswap.
• Deposit $50 worth of DAI in Compound.
• Purchase 2 of the top-performing robosets in amounts of $50 each.
• Purchase a $20 gift card through Bidali.
• The remaining ETH and 150 DAI is theirs to keep.
• Suggest they give half of their remaining ETH and the 150 DAI their partner so they can use DeFi, too.
• Leave them with my contact information in case they need further assistance.

3. Wait until they fall in love with DeFi and reach out for status updates about how HRO’s have integrated DeFi internally.

4. Perform the integration and add a donation button to their website.

5. Publish a press release that announces that they are accepting donations through web3 and that the integration was made possible through a donation from MakerDAO Community-development.
