Great Video of Our Virtual Holland Ghana Party
Last Thursday the 31st of May, we had a great charity party at the Our Virtual Holland sims in Second Life. There was a relaxed atmosphere brought about by great African music from African Music Radio and a nice scenery created specifically for the party. Yes, you can pull that off in Second Life, within a reasonable amount of time!
Around 100 unique avatars showed up during the 3 hour event and we managed to raise quite a few bucks for the orphanage in Ghana, although in looks a bit more impressive in Linden Dollars. But hey, SL is all about micro-transactions, so you cannot expect a three hour party to deliver huge piles of cash.
Besides that, as a community we have learned quite a lot organising this party, and even more we felt how nice it is to work together and achieving goals like this.
And when, in the end you end up with a video like this below, created by community member Irwo Merlin (SL name), we feel really proud of ourselves:
So what’s our next community event…?
