Greetings
We are Polkadot Latam, an organization committed to promoting the Polkadot and Kusama blockchain ecosystem in Honduras to later expand in Latin America. We would like to submit a proposal for the creation of a Polkadot development community in the region. The lack of information and education around blockchain in the Latin community represents a barrier to its adoption and growth in the region. Therefore, we will focus on creating a specific community in Honduras and promote the adoption of the technology throughout the country. Our goal is to create a robust and accessible community centered on three fundamental pillars: governance, development and community.
To achieve this, we will start by organizing events in the Honduras capital Tegucigalpa, in educational centers, media, universities and other interested parties who can experience the Polkadot and Kusama ecosystems, share knowledge and discover new opportunities for collaboration. In this initial stage, we will work on creating high quality educational content in Spanish so that Spanish speakers can better understand Polkadot and Kusama's blockchain technology, and can leverage it in their daily lives and foster the adoption of Polkadot in the region and in the long term grow the Polkadot ecosystem.
To support this initiative, we are requesting funding of 1033.389 KSM, 31005.81 USD for the creation of the Polkadot community in Honduras, the organization of events and the creation of educational content. We believe this investment will be a profitable and strategic opportunity for the growth and expansion of blockchain technology in the region. Changes and updates to the artwork will be carried out, implementing new vectorized and modeled objects. For example: 3D modeling of the various current vectors representing the network environment. With the ultimate goal of creating the most efficient learning method for Polkadot and Kusama.
Unity is Strength! Therefore, this method requires the recurrent approval of the community, as well as the contribution of feedbacks that reflect new ideas and recommendations, so that the final audiovisual material is ideal for those who visualize and study it, we will create a library with all the resources, which have been built and so that other people can generate quality content.
Below is an example of the type of content to create.
Polkadot and Kusama's definitive guide: What are parachains?
We hope that our proposal will be considered and approved, and we are confident that the creation of a Polkadot community in Honduras will have a significant impact on the adoption of blockchain technology in the region.

Hello! We’d be pleased if a member of the team would join AAG this Monday at 3:30pm UTC to help us understand the importance of this mission!
Please reach out on Matrix @jay-chrawnna:matrix.org! Thanks! 🙏

Hello, I have already contacted you by element

This ecosystem no longer needs high-quality educational content, we just need competitive content creators...
Good ideas and good intentions do not solve anything, only competitive professionals do.
Delighted to resolve serious doubts in depth to continue advancing with your project. But, please, do not take examples of previous content proposals as a reference for what you want to do, because the approach should be changed for the most part.
Here's a gift for your team, links to two drafts that I have been working on so that you can have a more serious reference of how the CCI (Content Creation Initiatives) should be rethought. Both in fundamental approach and in competitive content formats to work on.
1 - General Model for Content Creation Initiatives
2 - Polkadot Competitive Content Suggestions
We must rethink these types of proposals. Expensive content with no results brings absolutely nothing to the ecosystem.
We must hyperactively abandon budgets based on paying for "X number of pieces of content." F*ck the content created to receive easy and fast money. This generates bad practices and a job that is 0 competitive with the real world outside of the fictitious economy that has been generated in this clumsy industry.
Any project or business financed 100% by public money will rarely be competitive.
We need creators and well-trained local/lingo hubs with a professional background for the task they want to cover. Initiatives that can be competitive, not initiatives that only generate pieces of content because it has been paid for from the treasury. Do not try to look for reference points within the ecosystem, because you will not find them. The fact that the other elements from which you have been able to take an example are incompetent does not imply that you have to follow in their footsteps.
I leave you one more gift, ask yourself the following questions:
-
What is your goal in the medium-long term? Do you want to be a Local Hub?
-
Do you want to create a professional and competitive business from Polkadot Latam? Do you think that it should always be 100% financed from the treasury with public money?
-
Have you taken into account or contacted the team of other more experienced initiatives in the ecosystem and related to what you want to do, such as Creadores Web3, Polkadot Hub or the Bounty in Spanish?
Excuse me if I'm too harsh, but the problem is not a matter of budget. It does not matter to me if you want to present a budget of 10k, 30k or 100k, what I want is for this ecosystem to begin to be realistic with how these proposals should be worked on professionally.
I am not going to extend more with this message, because, the truth, in the end I should start charging these consultancies XD.
Good luck guys :)

Hello, you make a lot of sense. Our vision is to become a community and make Central America a strong community on Polkadot in the long run. The content we provide is just the key to get started and get people to start getting to know the ecosystem.

Paradox
This proposal was submitted with an extrinsic that would not yield the desired result.
It should be Treasury.Spend not Treasury.ProposeSpend
