In Second Life, there are sites setup to visit. In the slum area, the families live in tin shacks where large number of people live under one roof. Children are out playing among the animals or doing chores in the street. In the school construction area, workers are shown using bricks to build schools. Donated money for schools will go to books, uniforms and materials.

There are donation areas throughout the sim. It is encouraging to see that people from all over the world are interested in donated to LLK and the Feed a Smile project.
