From time to time within Second Life we gather to do charitable events that benefit real world organizations. Every year, millions of people are trafficked around the world. Traffickers use force and fraud to lure their victims into sex trafficking, forced labor, or debt bondage. Children representing all race and ethnic groups are trafficked out of, or into the United States on a daily basis. The goal of the Sidewalk Project is to raise awareness about human trafficking. The Sidewalk Project sponsors include Beta Omega Iota SL Fraternity, Nu Gamma Rho SL sorority, Gamma Sigma Mu SL sorority, and Chaotic Curves SL Motorcycle club. With the hard work of Second Life resident Yandii Zane and others the event was a resounding success.
