I'd like to let you know that we organize a meeting in Camp Darfur next monday (June 25th) in order to show our support to the key meeting of the International Contact Group on Sudan/Darfur.
The idea is to welcome visitors (avatars) from different countries and languages. We will propose a visit of Camp Darfur and some information about the current situation in Sudan and the high stakes of the meeting of monday.
Visitors will find all the ressources available, and they will also find people who can answer their questions and who can tell them how they can help in solving this crisis with different ways: writing letters to governments, signing petition, giving money, organizing meetings IRL and/or in SL, spreading on their blog etc.
There are still some interested and "SL skilled" people for French, English and German speaking.
I'm new on SL and can't build anything nor deal with bringing some videos and/or podcasts in-world. e. g. I'd love to find a way to show some of the i-Act movies, and there are also some interesting movies in French (I think of one the UN refugee agency gave me for the Sudan Vigil in Dijon in 2005) and i'm sure there are some in German. So, if any onet SLer want to give a hand you are welcome!
Another aspect of this meeting is to try to cross SL gathering with physical gathering. Let me explain: there are some people who'd like to participate but who haven't any good enough computer and/or bandwidth, or who just don't no "WTF is SecondLife" ! There are also people who'd like to live this moment more intensely with sharing their emotions physically with others. So, we'd like to encourage people who will attend in-world to let other people know were they are if they want to welcome other Peace Keepers who are around. e. g. I've still a friend who will welcome people in Paris and show them Camp Darfur, I will do the same in Dijon (except if I finally join others in Paris) and there should be some spots in the East and South of France and probably in Germany and Switzerland. Of course anybody can do the same from any part of the world and we can map these spots.
The gathering should start at 6pm Paris Time, that's 9am SL Time (PST).
Your ideas, remarks and feedback are so welcome!
If you plan to come you can say when on the comments.

You can spread this initiative in English, but also in French or in German.
