Residents organise charity party at Our Virtual Holland

Tomorrow evening 31 May, 21.00 hours (Amsterdam time), that is noon in Second Life time, the residents of Our Virtual Holland will kick-off their first joint party.

The event is fully dedicated to raising money for the construction of an orphanage with a little farm in Ghana. One of Our Virtual Holland’s residents, Naomi Talon, has close ties to the Dutch organisation behind this charity project.

At Our Virtual Holland the residents have been very busy thinking and discussing the event for the last few weeks. Our weekly meetings and our wiki proved their value. It has been a worthwhile time, considering the fact that we have learned a lot so far and we surely intend to do some more of these events in the future.

So what can you do at the event:

  • buy tickets for the lottery (LL$ 50 each and have a shot at the big price: a month’s stay in a house with a private beach in Second Life!)
  • have a look at the Second Life replica of the orphanage
  • dance on some nice African music
  • get yourself some trendy African clothes for the occasion (all money goes to charity project!), designed by our star designer Indira Bekkers
  • enjoy the beautiful African scenery
  • pick up a copy of the first issue of our magazine PRIM (Periodical Revealing Information Magazine)
  • and, last but not least, meet the Our Virtual Holland residents!

COME JOIN US AND HAVE SOME AFRICAN FUN

The party location: SLURL
