The 2019 brought us many surprises including those of this project that with a lot of effort we have put to walk between the account of @inteligentzia, my person and many more accounts with which I have been able to share ideas about Steem and about how to take this currency to all the corners of my country, this is only a beginning for everything that is coming in a few months, since my commitment is with the community and it will continue being this way
I have been able to contact the executives of the Venezuelan Chess Federation in order to establish Steem as one of the sponsors and I was also able to guide them to create an account at Steem and integrate it with Steempress in their website, that way they will have all the news of what the federation does in a simple and uncensored way having a portal where users can update themselves as well as have more exposure worldwide of the work being done.
I will talk more in depth about the calendar in the next update to expose the plans we have and how we are going to execute them
Also speaking of 2019, there is some remarkable news I would like to share
