During the Finale of Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity the teams of volonteers are formed in many towns and cities of Poland. We decided to form such a team also in Second Life, in order to spread the word and gather money to help the children.
The team is officialy registered by the foundation. We will create a special SL account to gather the money, this account will be the owner of GOCC tipjars. All money gathered will be transfered to the foundation, the settelment wil be based on the transaction history. The person responsible for this is WoodPaker Barbosa - the Chief of the GOCC Team in Second Life.
The events will be held from 5 till 13 January and will include parties with DJs, live concerts, fashion shows and auctions. On the last day of the Finale, 13 January, at 11AM PST, every team in Poland in RL sends the traditional "light towards the heaven". We send our light to Good Angels, be it in form of lighter, a candle, a torch or fireworks. In this one moment we believe we are visible from above. In Second Life we have prepared very special "Light Towards Heaven", which can be received at SlangLife island.
If you would like to know more, please send IM to WoodPaker Barbosa or Iuthilde Rasmuson.
As for events taking place on SlangLife island you can contact Uzi Boa by IM or by email: uzi.boa@slanglife.com
Disclaimer: in Second Life we operate as a team officialy registered by the foundation, but not as a foundation itself and not on behalf of the foundation. This is the way that all teams in RL operate in cities and towns across Poland.

What is the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity
Wielka Orkiestra Świątecznej Pomocy (The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity) is the biggest and most prosperous charity organization in Poland. Its objectives, included in the status document, are saving children's lives, health promotion and education in the field of preventive treatment. Between 1993 and 2006 The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity has collected and spent over $65 mln for saving lives. Besides humanitarian work, the Foundation is also a powerful medium spreading the ideology of kindness, friendship, tolerance, and openness.
The Great Finale is the basis for all the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity's projects. It is one day long, nation-wide money gathering. All the revenues are turned over to The Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity. Such attitude allows us to achieve one of the most important goals which is creating the spirit of community, friendship, and unity.
In the past years the GOCC was gathering money for cardio-surgery for children, neonatology, pediatric oncology, rescue of accidents' victims, treatment for kidney's diseases and for congenital defects.
This year, on the 16th Finale, we will be gathering money for medical equipment that can save children with diseases of ears, nose, throat and larynx (for example children with tumours in these areas or with severe burns of respiratory tract).
The GOCC is all around the World. Polish communities living abroad have been organizing events celebrating Finals for many years. Wherever there’s Polish spirit, there’s also the Great Orchestra of Christmas Charity!
