A whole lot of love
THE virtual world of Habbo Hotel will enter into a partnership with the Matthew Shepard Foundation (MSF) to bring the 'Erase Hate' project online.
'Erase Hate' is a campaign run by the foundation which aims to combat bullying and increase tolerance of different people and cultures.
From July 7, MSF staff members will hold twice weekly discussions on the Habbo virtual InfoBus to discuss bullying and hate in both the real and virtual worlds.
Compassion and acceptance
Judy Shepard, an executive director of the foundation, said she hoped the move would help them achieve their goals: "It is a mission of the foundation to support young people and provide them with the resources to lead healthy, productive, hate free lives.
"Our partnership with Habbo will allow us to have ongoing conversations with young people about what they can do in the fight to replace hate with understanding, compassion, and acceptance."
Have your say
