Remember the homeless avatar in Second Life that got a lot of attention a few weeks back? I also tracked down the avatar in Second Life and did an interview with the people from NGO involved in this campaign. We will start to train someone in Mensajeros de la Paz who's gonna be responsible for the avatar if the action works.

A Spain-based non-profit, their main goal is to create shelters and foster homes for poor children and elderly people. Rik visited the homeless avatar: I decided to pop into SL to check it out. I found a bedraggled looking avatar sleeping in a cardboard box with a crude sign asking for donations. There's YouTube video here.
