HIV/AIDS education island opens in Second Life on World AIDS Day (December 1)

Posted on November 18, 2008 by

Karunasim2
I got word from Ricken Flow about Karuna, a new space in Second Life focused on HIV/AIDS education. Karuna is holding a day of opening festivities on December 1st – World AIDS Day. The program includes keynote speakers Pathfinder Linden and
Michelle Samplin-Salgado of AIDS.gov, a story writing workshop with
Jenaia Morane, and musical performances by Kim Seifert and Cylindrian
Rutabaga.

Karuna is a word taken from an early Indo-Aryan language, meaning "the desire to remove harm and
suffering, and to bring about the well-being and happiness of others." In addition to providing information resources, support, and
networking opportunities, Karuna will be built around a Garden of
Experience, where the experiences of those dealing with HIV/AIDS will
be shared in a variety of formats including poetry, photos, music, and
video.

Here is the teleport link when the island becomes public. For more information see
