Recently, yours truly interviewed Tealcie Annibles (Tealcie Resident). Tealcie is the founder and leader of the SL Regional Search and Rescue group, which roleplays first responders at the scene of various disasters. I talked to her about how she got started in Second Life, and just what goes into planning and setting up these exercises.

Second Life Regional Search And Rescue

Suppose there was a great emergency, would you know what to do? Not a little emergency like your engine not starting, but a big emergency like a train wreck or a major fire on a ship? The Second Life Regional Search and Rescue does frequent first responder roleplay exercises. Gemma Cleanslate was recently able to witness one such exercise.

Hair Fair 2017

With the Relay Weekend coming up, the Relay for Life is clearly the most active charity this month. But by all means it's not the only one. The 2017 Hair Fair, which raises money for Wigs for Kids, has been going on since the first of the month, and will continue until Sunday July 16.

Over four sims, Osmium, Iridium, Rhodium, and Platinum, various small shops offer a number of hairpieces for male and female avatars, with at least 15% going to charity. The website also states, "There are also Kiosks for direct donations, and Bandana Booths that donate 100% of all purchases." Among the booths, there were also a number of pictures up, possibly the results of an art contest.

Wigs for Kids is a charity that is aimed at helping children deal with hair loss, such as from the side-effects of chemotherapy, by providing them with hairpieces made from human hair. More  can be read about them at: http://dfwhairloss.com/wigs-for-kids/ .
