French humanitarian group Première Urgence sets up shop in Second Life

Posted on September 14, 2007 by

I just got a press release from the French humanitarian aid group Premiere Urgence.  According to their mission statement, they "engage in concrete and direct actions to assist victims put in danger, marginalized and excluded by the effects of natural catastrophes, war, civil actions, and conflicts based on economic collapse due to political changes internationally or nationally." In 2006 alone, 1.2 million people in Africa, the Middle East, and Asia benefited directly from actions by Premiere Urgence.

As part of their 15 year anniversary, Premiere Urgence is establishing a virtual headquarters in Second Life.  They see their SL space as a means to spread the word about their work, raise funding support, provide opportunities for people to volunteer for one of their humanitarian missions, and keep up to date on their work through news updates, photos and video from their work around the world. 

Head to Porcupine sim (teleport SLURL) to check out their HQ.  The complete announcement (in French) follows…

Pour
ses 15 ans, Première Urgence installe la Solidarité
Internationale sur Second Life

Paris,
le 14/09/2007 – On connaissait déjà Second Life pour
être un formidable relais pour les échanges économiques
et sociaux. Avec l’arrivée de Première
Urgence
, l’ONG de Solidarité Internationale qui fête
ses quinze ans, c’est toute une conception d’un monde solidaire
qui s’installe et veut s’imposer sur Second Life. Parce que
second Life est le reflet de la diversité des intérêts
de ses résidents, Community
Chest
considère qu’il est primordial d’y ancrer les
initiatives solidaires de manière durable.

Avec
Première Urgence,
Community Chest a débuté
les implantations visant à défendre dans Second Life
les principes du droit à la vie et à la dignité.
Second Life est, pour Première Urgence et Community
Chest
, un moyen efficace pour venir en aide, soulager et
préserver des vies humaines là où elles sont
menacées. 
Directement sur l’implantation SL de Première
Urgence
, les fondations privées, les entreprises et la
générosité publique peuvent désormais
soutenir les actions de PU grâce aux bornes « dons ».
Les candidats peuvent également y postuler pour partir en
mission humanitaire sur le terrain. Première
Urgence
sur Second Life est également conçu comme
un lieu d’échanges, d’information où le public
pourra se tenir au courant des actions en cours grâce aux
expositions de photos et aux projections vidéos des missions
réalisées.

    How are you. Self-importance is our greatest enemy. Think about it – what weakens us is feeling offended by the deeds and misdeeds of our fellowmen. Our self-importance requires that we spend most of our lives offended by someone. Help me! There is an urgent need for sites: Chaplain programs distance learning 72 hours. I found only this – correspondence distance learning. In world to matter the equal distance that you serve to bring with the least distance of knowledge, you even rule to bring up your substitute what you enrich to spend, distance learning. Social universities are online in complete problem amount, distance learning. Waiting for a reply :mad:, Nova from Central.
