The West of Ireland promotes Irish and Celtic culture within Second Life, while raising funds for Project Children and providing an entertaining environment for guests. These estates are owned by the South Texas Celtic Music Association and are collectively a recognised 501(c)3 nonprofit organisation with both the US government and Linden Labs.
Since 1975, Project Children has been working to bring Catholic and Protestand children from Northern Ireland together as a means of breaking down the centuries old barriers between communities and neighborhoods there. Children in the program fly to the U.S. to live with host families for the summer, in many cases with both a Catholic and Protestant child in each home. The children have fun, get to know each other, and learn that people are people, regardless of the neighborhood in which they live or the faith they practice.
So far Project Children has brought over 14,000 children from Northern Ireland to the United States for summer vacations with more than 600 children per year now participating. Your donation will help cover the cost of flights for these well deserving children.
