As I logged into EU, I was sent a pm from a fellow Pyrate, Bella. She said she had an idea, that she wanted to share with the community; and she figured since I'm ''known'' on EF - I could share it with the masses, for her.
(aka I talk and post too much )
At first - I was of course, weary .. lol you never know what a Pyrate is going to suggest.
But, as soon as she said the first sentence of her suggestion - I knew I wanted to spread the idea/thought/sentiment/proposal.
She said "If I owned a LandArea - I would hold an event for the weekend, where all of the taxes I recv'd - were sent to Haiti victims relief fund."
"I know, for a fact, that if CP/CND was holding a charity event like this -- I would pay for the flight to go up and hunt for a while; knowing my money was going to a good cause and helping others," Bella said, and I couldn't agree more.
She would hopefully be the first of many to do such an unselfish thing. If something like this were to take place, you never know where it could lead !
Not just disaster aid - but imagine helping fund Cancer research, AIDS research, Make a Wish foundation ... from inside a video game ! I just think the good things that could come of it are neverending.
Who knows - maybe one day a long-standing virtual fundraising event could grant a 'scholarship' fund for a family that are having financial difficulties, sending their young'ins to college.
The publicity possibilities are also endless - 'woman uses money from virtual property earnings to help to feed 100 earthquake victims.'
It just seems like a great idea - please feel free to discuss or even better .. hold some Haiti charity events on your Land Areas, space resorts/asteroids
I also forgot to mention that my heart goes out to all the people of Haiti. The disaster is enormous and the world's thoughts are with you.
