Show Notes:
I first Riversong Garden, Jackie Brosseuk in real life, a couple of months ago, when she invited me to watch the sunrise over Betterworld Island. Jackie and her inventor husband Randy Brosseuk, recently found themselves the owner of this uplifting plot of good energy. It's a strange journey for the Canadian couple, who in the real world, design and sell heavy industrial equipement used in alluvial gold mining and other applications. Well, that, and ship containers full of free tools and empowering technology to the South Pacific and more recently Africa. Betterworld Island is a small Second Life Jewel. We've already met two Betterworld residents in this podcast. In Episode Four I interviewed In Kenzo, who's Amortation Studio has build the calming and crystalline Manor Meta there. And, in Episode Six, we met Delia Lake, who has established some beautiful eco-systems there. Now Jackie is looking to the future. Manor Meta is moving to the NMC campus and Betterworld is exploring new ways that global aid groups like Care, the International Rescue Committee can come together and make positive change. Jackie spoke with me about being at the crossroads on Betterworld Island from her home in Revelstoke British Columbia. You can learn more about her work at http://www.omidyar.net/group/bwi/.
