@RandyCoinAI @SinfulMeatStick Hey @RandyCoinAI ! I'm the North Carolina WASH dude from NFT NYC. DMed you 🚰

[Eric Siegel @esiegel126]

I was in Nebaj, Guatemala. I’d just read about how the Phoenician Alef 𐤀 symbolizes where creation begins. Now, the town's waterkeeper was telling me,

“Water guides creation in our universe, moving through relationship. Before Earth had a sky, water drifted through space as ice and vapor to deliver the seeds of our oceans.”

In the Ixil worldview, this is ta’lche. Ta, the emergence from the unseen into the seen. Lche, presence and form through action.

ta’lche 𐤀 NFT is available for .93 SOL ($100) at https://t.co/VaP5oeZ98V (link in bio). Your purchase immediately, transparently sends 100% of money directly to @BluefilterC for emergency water delivery in Gaza. Your NFT is also access to the Alef community: https://t.co/xgNO2y3WGM

Card accepted · No wallet needed · Every piece funds clean water in Gaza

New Alef pieces drop every Tuesday. Link in bio. See you for livestream painting every Wednesday 9pm EST.

[Eric Siegel @esiegel126]

The Alef collection art rollout began with the ܐ Syriac ʾālap this past week. Enjoyed sharing art with everyone during the livestream painting & listening sessions, and across socials. Here are some highlights of ܐ and a few lines from the poems.

ܢܘܗܪܐ ܕܠܐ ܡܬܚܙܐ ܫܪܐ ܒܠܒܐ ܘܡܢ ܠܒܐ ܡܬܓܠܐ
Unseen light dwells in the heart, and from the heart is revealed

sandia, mar, montañas

This week:

- All Alef NFT holders get access to our gated Discord. Verify your NFT there and receive a high definition digital image, designed to be printed and used as a bookmark.

- Alef art drops continues with 𐤀

- Water program updates and community conversation on the Discord.

@BluefilterC @veyrnix Amen! Livity and Blue Filter are building the Alef Community. Read about it here:

[Eric Siegel @esiegel126]

Traditional humanitarian finance faces severe blockades on movement and fund transfers into Gaza. The Alef NFT Drop lets a global community fund @BluefilterC directly, peer to peer, with a transaction fee typically under $1.

100% of net proceeds go directly to Blue Filter. To date, we've sent $1,000 from the first 18 NFT sales: a humble start against a $100,000 goal, but every step worked: art sold, funds moved, water delivered.

If your organization is looking for a transparent way to fund water access in Gaza before year end, I would be glad to talk. Please message me directly.

The first 18 sales from the Alef collection raised about $1,000. On September 7 that money reached Blue Filter. On September 8, two trucks delivered 20,000L of clean water to displaced families, 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝟭,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲.

$1,000 is a humble start against a $100,000 goal. What matters is that every step worked: art sold, funds moved, water delivered.

Who is @BluefilterC?

A Palestinian organization, registered in Gaza since 2019.
About 250,000 liters delivered. Not through this campaign.
Other ways of sending money got shut down. That is why the NFT.

I remember Tafi Atome, Ghana like it was yesterday.

[SinfulMeatStick.eth @SinfulMeatStick]

How did the clean water work start?

A student trip to Tafi Atome, Ghana.
They dug latrines. A safe place to go.
He thinks water guided him there.

@esiegel126 @livity_io

[Eric Siegel @esiegel126]

Access to safe water sanitation and hygiene for all. One love. Livity.

Thank you for the clip @SinfulMeatStick! Enjoyed our conversation🙏

NFTs for community powered WASH systems

[SinfulMeatStick.eth @SinfulMeatStick]

Why fund clean water with paintings?

Expression first. Then it becomes art.
NFTs so local providers can publish what they need.
WASH means water, sanitation, and hygiene.
