Charities in Second Life(c) help create awareness on a
global scale and raise money for real life organizations. In SL, there are multiple events and fundraisers that can be found. It is volunteers who help in the fight for a worthy cause while providing special events and activities to residents in the virtual world.
However, just like in real life is can be
hard to find the right charities which really help the causes they are working
for. Also, If we donate, we want to know where the money is going directly too.
I highlighted a few trustworthy charities that are raising not only money but
awareness in SL while helping people around the world.
