*Please note that 100% of all money raised will go to the charity Americares (http://www.americares.org/). Land was donated by Glam Affair and all volunteers are giving their time without charge.* (per notecard in items that I purchased)
Sadly, with the death toll swiftly reaching 10,000 (this fluctuates hourly as the rubble and debris are being cleared away, they are still finding survivors), I can't help but tune in to the news a few time a day for an update. To see the aid that is being offered reminds us all of all the good the world can do regardless of political or religious views. We are ALL PEOPLE, and when we are suffering we come together to lend a helping hand.
Yesterday I spend some time wandering the Pacific Crisis Fundraiser sim. I suggest you do the same. There are so many vendors that have donated their time, and product for such an amazing cause. The lag was hard to deal with yes, but after standing in one spot for about 10 mins to allow everything to rez properly, I walked around with little to know issues. The PCF people were a great help in directing me to what I was looking for, and were also quick to ban a few racist idiots who thought that coming in and being douchy was funny. Well no, I don't care who you are or what you think, a disaster of this magnitude anywhere in the world is NO laughing matter!
I only wish I was in a position to where I could help more. In RL we have begun to collect non-perishable food items, blankets, diapers etc to send to the local red cross. The final tally of what we raised will come in next week via my work head office. So that leaves me to donate some of my Lindens to a worthy cause.
Two of my favourite designers have lent some of their talents to raising money for the Pacific Coast. Plastik and Delirium.
Plastik has come out with a limited edition Tokyo Elven skin, complete with ears and glowy eyes. Shades included are Chorus, Lullaby, Poem, Song, and Hymn. Delirium has also come out with a Limited Edition outfit called Isimaki (I do believe they also have a version for men *not pictured* Both items are from amazing content creators that have donated their creativity, time, and imagination to create quality items for us, the SL shopper, so that we too can help in our own way :)
