Even after 18 years, I find the week of 9/11 to be a reflective one. In addition to remembering the horror and tragedy of it all, one of the things I always think about are first responders. They are the heroes of that day, those that perished and those that survived, and of so many other days as well. I think about other heroes too, not only the first responders to an emergency, but also all those people who go out of their to do for others. I count the organization Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières or MSF) among those heroes… as an international, independent, medical humanitarian organization, they deliver emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, natural disasters and exclusion from healthcare. MSF offers assistance to people based on need, irrespective of race, religion, gender or political affiliation. In other words, they go out of their way to make a difference for those who need their care. And to me, that’s the definition of being a hero. I support them in real life; maybe you do too. But did you know that there’s a way to support this incredible organization here on the grid as well?
The Spoonful Of Sugar Festival has won awards, and has grown to be well known and celebrated as an SL Charity event. In four events it has raised $40,000 USD for MSF/Doctors Without Borders; with this event, they are projected to hit $50,000 USD. It truly is a festival, a celebration of a global-wide response to humanity, and its success has shown that here in Second Life we see the right to physical and mental health care on a global scale, and that we don’t take human injustice lightly or miss a chance to help where we can. The festival is a “Fashion, Home & Garden, Breedable and Entertainment Event, bringing 200 of Second Life’s finest designers, entertainers and participants to an area covering six regions. I’m trying to do my small part in blogging the event raising money for this wonderful cause, with details on my first two designers below. Join us for what is being called the “Sweetest Fund Raiser in SL”, The 2019 Spoonful Of Sugar Festival to benefit MSF/Doctors Without Borders. Open Sept 14th through 29th. The Grand Opening Ceremony starts at 11A SLT with music from Max Kleene. For more information on the Grand Opening Ceremony, just click! Click here for The Spoonful of Sugar 2019 Main Sim.
