Giving in Second Life
The season for giving is here, and I wondered what opportunities existed in SL to help others. So I visited Aloft Nonprofit Commons (143, 81, 31). There I found a huge number and variety of causes from many different countries.
In addition to Aloft, there are 3 other connected sims: Plush, where weekly meetings are held; EcoCommons for environmental concerns; and HealthCommons for health related nonprofits. All of the areas can be reached by teleport from the main hub.
At the hub you can take a tour by horse carriage or magic carpet. The carriage didn´t want to work for me, but the carpet ride provided a quick tour of the basics. I hopped off about mid-tour to walk around the different shops and offices.
There is also a large display that lists all of the organizations and their location. This is the best way to find a specific group and get there quickly. The list is not alphabetical. However, once you find the group that interests you, it is easy to get there. A click on its number causes its location to be listed in your historical chat, where you can quickly teleport to the site.
The variety of causes was extensive: animal rescue and protection groups, museums, hunger and health groups, Sierra Club and child protection groups. Whatever interests you, there is probably a group for it here. Being a furry, I was especially partial to the Mountain Lion Foundation, which is still under construction, and the Sierra Club, which is build in a tree house.
Kiva, a group that works to end poverty by giving loans, has a large presence here. "Turning Lindens into Loans" is their motto, and their shop is filled with photos of the people they are helping. I didn´́t see any wreathes for sale at this shop, but they are selling them at Winterfest through Xstreet, and the money goes to support their cause. On the second floor, they had a donation barrel, too, where you can drop off items for re-sale.Another group, NSW Animal Rescue organization from Australia was selling rugs for $49L. The rugs have photos of different types of dogs, and you can buy one to show your support for your favorite breed.
The Aloft sim has lots of fun things to do. Horses for Healing gives you a horse that you can ride as you explore the sim. There is a picnic area, hang-gliders, and a swimming pool, too.
I went back 3 times, and I still haven´t seen it all. It is a great place to give and have fun, too.

Carolling In October with Jim & Archie
I find Jim Cantiello to be ridiculously funny, and David Archuleta very talented, so the combination of the two making the rounds at the MTV offices to be a special seasonal treat, even if the season is not yet here. Enjoy!

Little Christmas Celebration
Ze Novikov sent me a note card to tell me about an event she has witnessed in Nuova Sicilia.It was a live Nativity Scene involving avatars who played and celebrated the real meaning of Chirstmas in a town church in that sim.
She described it “I found the event to be sweet and creative as you too can participate as an angel on high.“
The event will be presented again on January 6 with the coming of the magi, or wise men on the last day of Christmas.Sicily Zapatero was the artistic decorator for the event. Eros Boa did the animations.
The event is dedicated to the founder of the Nuova Sicilia, Cristos Benneli.
If you would like to see the performance it will be recreated with the coming of the Three Kings included on January 6 at 1:00 at http://slurl.com/secondlife/

Dear readers:
The year is ending, and it’s Holiday Season. So I figured this column had to be an opportunity to thank you all for reading the SL-Newspaper and giving our SL existence an extra meaning.I have been a journalist in RL since I was very young. I belong to a family of journalists. And I believe in the Press. Even when you have to put up with Tabloids and Paparazzi.
There’s no freedom without Free Press. That truth is as old as
Gutenberg.
So I am proud to be a journalist. And I’m proud and happy to be a SLN journalist. The Press is important in SL also. I want to thank Dana and James, for all they do.
I want to tell the staff I’m honored to share these pages with them.
And I want to wish you all Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, and a great 2009.
I sincerely wish we continue this SL journey together.
It’s not hard: in this marvelous world of ours, we are all just a TP away.
LOVE and HAPPINESS for you all.
☺)))
