Here are some pictures of our new office at the non-profit commons in Second life.
The office is quite large so we made a 'path' and tried to put the displays in logical order. There is a front and back door, though people come in both doors (and even fall through the ceiling).
Here is our 'front' door
And you can see the desk and the language tree, which has all of the translations on it.
On the desk is a basket you can leave us mail in, and a computer that shows images of Kiva clients. There is also information about all the Kiva things you can do in Second Life on the desk.
Besides the desk is the Kiva newstand, with all the new things going on.
Beside the stand is our tree of free Kiva items. We give away the green rubber Kiva bracelets, and a t-shirt and jean jacket and flyer. We also have a free display stand that gives away all these free items that you can put on your own second life land.
Further along the path is a donation box, and a present with a kiva gift certificate. On the walls is info about Kiva and pictures from the calendar :}
In the corner is the 'turning Linden into loans' display that explains how the money in second life gets turned into real life kiva loans.
Inside the 'room' is a book of our loans and journal entries of our loans (secondlife group) and our latest loan. And also links to shops that are maintained by kivafriends where all the money goes to our group. So you can buy second life clothes and office items and the money goes to Kiva.
We have a display and link to kiva friends, and to the kiva shopping store, and all the other ways you can help kiva in real life (goodsearch, amazon, etc).
That transparent Kiva sign is the back door. We have a donation box by the back door.
We also have a TV that will stream in videos (when I get it working).
And a display for Kiva fellows and Kiva translators.
The bus display is Kiva Friends SL tours; we'll meet regularly and go check out other sims.
Our opening party is JANUARY 5th, at 10:30 am - 12 pm Pacific time. All are invited.
