Have Fun - Do Good

OCTOBER 17, 2008

I'm interested in exploring how Changebloggers, people who want to use their blogs, podcasts and vlogs to change the world, can make a greater impact through longer online events, and face-to-face meetups.

I already spend way too much time online, but then there started to be events that I wanted to check out. Like in January when Mia Farrow spoke in Second Life about Darfur at a virtual event sponsored by the U.S. Today I joined Second Life , a virtual 3-D world built by its residents. At first I really didn't want to.

The first genre of games that I'm exploring is "immersive web or persistent world or metaverse " or " massively multiplayer nnline game (MMOG) " It's defined as a digital game with a virtual world that is a setting for role-playing, events, entertainment, and other activities. Is it worth for nonprofits to invest?

We also have a student division: STAND , which has more than 850 chapters around the world, and the students in those chapters actively organize and mobilize their communities and schools to pass legislation, to fundraise, and to really make more noise about genocide in Darfur and genocide in general.
