Aiming to reach a wider global audience, create awareness of child rights, and involve people of all ages, from all walks of life, in taking action, Child Rights & You (CRY) along with its partners CRY America and CRY UK has opened its office in 멣econd Life? CRY hopes to build a global virtual community of child rights advocates by encouraging people to play their part in correcting injustice to marginalised children.

 

This step makes CRY the 멹irst Indian non-profit organisation working on child rights?to have an office in Second Life, touted as the hottest online virtual revolution. Indusgeeks, a technology and new media company and the first Indian company that works exclusively on virtual world technologies like Second Life has partnered CRY to build its virtual office.

 

Designed as lego blocks, the office is a unique structure emphasizing the core essence of CRY뭩 work which is children.

 

On the occasion, Ingrid Srinath, CEO, CRY said, qkche space offers avataars an opportunity to experience, via displays, videos, community development stories and photo essays, the situation of marginalised children, especially Indian, and invites them to join the community, engage with volunteers from across the world to discuss issues, organise brainstorming sessions, exchange ideas and experiences and get more deeply involved.?

 

It also houses a virtual space for products such as attractive greeting cards, gift articles, stationery products and lots more, all designed and inspired by the expressions of childhood. The Avataars can purchase these products to display in their offices in-world or in real life through www.cry.org.

 

qkge have partnered with CRY because of our belief in the cause of ensuring child rights and it gave us an opportunity to help them with their endeavor to amplify the voices of marginalised children in India globally.

 

Second Life offers people a medium for an interactive experience, it connects real life people challenged by distance to virtually experience and understand issues and an opportunity to do something about it. It basically adds a soul to the Internet by making in more visual and interactive,?added Siddharth Bannerjee, Founder & CEO, Indusgeeks.
