Have you spent any time in the virtual world called Second Life? It is amazing what you can do today with a computer and an Internet connection!
I recently spent some time experimenting with Second Life. One of the organizations I discovered during my virtual travels is Cheerful Givers. Check out the picture of me (Rog Cleanslate) looking over their Second Life location.
Cheerful Givers is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing birthday gift bags to children that are living in poverty or without a home. It is a great concept. They discovered a critical need and they took action. They organized it so that anyone can participate in some way. Some of those ways include:
- Donating items
- Assembling gift bags
- Raising and/or donating funds
Check out the Cheerful Givers web site at http://www.cheerfulgivers.org.
They’re currently planning a virtual walk in Second Life as a fundraising event. I plan on participating. You should also consider helping Cheerful Givers in some way as well. You’ll be glad that you did.
Hope that many people will visit Cheerful Givers! Donations can be used as birthday gifts for people who don’t need more gifts.
