At our weekly gathering on January 13th, we decided to make a donation box so that people in our community (or anyone wandering by our facilities in Second Life) can donate Linden Dollars to the relief efforts in Haiti. Linden Dollars are convertible into actual US Dollars, and several other organizations in Second Life (such as the Red Cross) are already collecting funds in this manner to help the relief efforts.

We have chosen to direct our efforts through the Presbyterian Disaster Assistance fund for Haiti. All Linden Dollars donated in Second Life will go to JoySophia Northmann's account (RL: Maria Kettleson Anderson). She has agreed to keep detailed and transparent records of all funds collected, convert the Linden Dollars to US Dollars, and then forward them to the PDA in our behalf.

If you are already a resident of Second Life and have Linden Dollars you would like to contribute, you can find the donation box on the sign in front of our 1PCSL building. Follow the instructions on the sign to make your contribution, and we thank you in advance for your efforts to help our Haitian sisters and brothers in their hour of need.
