A heart full of giving

Charitable Hearts is an organization that helps many different charity groups. The organization, which is owned by King Zuhal, holds many auctions to help not only charities but avatars as well.

With the help of volunteers like Reg Simca, Charitable Hearts organization continues to be a great help on SL.

“I have been involved with a few things they have done,” says Simca.

One method that the Charitable Hearts organization uses to raise money is by auctions. Unlike other auctions on Second Life, Charitable Hearts auction off avatars for romantic dates.

“I went on a bachelor auction date with a lady and the money helped raised $26500 linden dollars for me.” Says Simca

Simca goes on to say, “the money raised did not help me a whole lot, but the monies raised was gathered and converted into US dollars. After the money was raised it went to the Oxfam charity.”

If you want to become a volunteer for Charitable Hearts organization contact King Zuhal or go to the Charitable Hearts land on SL. Charitable Hearts are always looking for people to help make a difference.
