Red Cross: not everyone can take refugee in Second Life
en::



SL is an important tool for non profit organizations which intend to share their work with other people. This time we decided to explore the Danish Red Cross' island in SL.

The island is divided into four different scenarios:





Conflict and war island (visitors walk through a refugee camp full of land mines that explose and send avatars into the air)
Tsunami zone (visitors can experience a Tsunami and the effects that follow this calamity)
Earthquake island (visitors are suddenly surprised by an earthquake)
'What we do island' (visitors can learn what Red Cross does)
Once again SL provides an immersive virtual experience with an eye to real life: the island actually provides slides and pictures displaying Darfur's conflict and 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. However, after the troubling experience, you can relax having a coffee at Red Cross Café, camping or playing volley-ball, hopely without forgetting what you have seen before."
