Our #Bitcoin Mechanic has been starting conversations at his workplace about #Bitcoin Today he brought his workmate for some Juice from Juicy B and of course paid in #Bitcoin His key highlight is there are no fees on transactions made over lightning something he struggles with since he sometimes has to receive mobile money from clients and pay for local car parts, pay for parts from Kenya (of course @Tando.me came up) and the likes. This was his second #Bitcoin touch point, the first was @Bitrefill for airtime. Slowly then Suddenly S A V E S P E N D R E P L A C E zap him a juice (1,555 sats) and share the screenshot below - will use it drag him to #NOSTR (atukundaanold@blink.sv) Credits song by @Man Like Kweks video by @Brindon ⚡️

Yesterday was a breakthrough! One of my biggest worries with the Save Starlight School project has been this: Will our 115 orphans and those who join in the future grow into employable, entrepreneurial, purpose-driven adults? Traditional education systems often fall short. They rarely equip children, especially those aged 3 to 16 like at @OrphansofUganda , with the real-world skills needed to become change-makers. And time is ticking fast. Yesterday at the Africa Business Heroes info session, I met one of the co-founders of MST Junior School, a school already building the kind of future I dream of: sustainable, skill-based education rooted in ICT, carpentry, music, engineering, and farming. We briefly explored the possibility of franchising or knowledge sharing and agreed for a future meeting, for the first time in a while I felt hope rise. Discovering mstjuniorschool.ac.ug genuinely lifted a huge burden off my shoulders(watch video below and check their website) Shoutout to RachealKabs and @studentofbitcoin who were the first to help me realize that raising well-rounded children isn’t just about money and buildings. And special thanks to Rachel Bashabe for the invite. You helped unlock something big.
