Event4FunD for Mt. Merapi& Mentawai Tsunami Victims
Less than a month ago,
I accidently discovered that there's a community of Indonesians people in Secondlife whose inworld's age are mostly less than 6 months old. But so eager to learn in that metaverse, they already know a lot of things average SL residents find out in a year living inworld. And even more amazing is that, an idea that just came out a week ago is now expanding into a week event of various activities for a noble cause.
Last Friday, when the group are gathering for its weekly learning program in SL, a member came out with an idea to raise some funds for the victims of an erupting volcano in our country, Mount Merapi.
And in just the count of days, an event had started by Nov 10th: An exhibition of Mt. Merapi and Mentawai, where besides the photos people visiting can also watch a youtube video of what's going on there (here), buy merchandise and give their donations.
On Nov 12th, there was a real Professor of Geology from the University of Illinois, Dr. Billy Shield (Zeppo Sinaro inworld) giving a lecture "Mt.Merapi Volcano-A Look at Geologic Setting and Associated Hazzards." And as we predicted ebfore, the sim was all packed, that some of our own SLED's member could not make it to the LM
And tonight, we are going to have a 24h live music... all these are a chain of event4fund to help out victims, in the area of Central Java Indonesia and Tsunami in Mentawai island, West Sumatra! So, if twitter has its trending tweet 'Pray for Indonesia' ... we residents of SL too now can say that our metaverse are full of warm hearted people, who don't think twice for a noble cause, no matter how far they live from the disastrous area...
Thank you all

Everything ran down smoothly, but there's no challenge if all things run as they should right? today we learnt our first EO lesson... timezone problem.
We are supposed to have a charity concert at 12 PM Nov 13th, but it didn't go as we planned. My guess why this happen is the difference in understanding 12PM between SL(western) and people here... 12PM in SLT is refered to high noon there, while here mostly we assume it's midnite. Because we rarely use AM/PM we use 00.00(midnite) and 12.00 (high noon)
And as I re-write this down, we are still waiting for the concert...personally, I have been waiting for 13,5 hours :D
