STAND UP is global campaign to set an official Guinness World Record for the greatest number of people to STAND UP Against Poverty and for the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). STAND UP Events are happening all over the world, including Second Life.
Second Life residents who Stand Up will be counted towards the Guinness World Record Attempt. There is a Kiosk in various places in Second Llife, including TechSoup's office at Information Island. I photographed myself at the TechSoup office where the Kiosk is located. You also get a T-Shirt!
The kiosk offers information on Stand Up and a free White Band (the international symbol for ending poverty). The White Bands will contain a script that allows your avatar to Stand Up in a unique way. To be counted for the World Record individuals must stand up between 10am GMT October 15 to 10am GMT October 16 and record their actions on the Standup
