I am a regular contributor to Oxfam and I also buy from their store and give their gift cards at Christmas.....have given chickens, goats, school books and blankets......my friends love them, they don't really need a gift themselves and are happy for a donated gift.......Today I have received a copy of the quarterly brochure which highlights the projects that Oxfam are working on around the world......there were some sobering statistics which I would like to share....2 Billion people lack access to clean water......121 Million children each year are denied the basic human right to an education......39.5 Million people around the world are living with HIV and AIDS......2.2 Million children die each year because they are not immunised.....20% of the population of the developed nations consume 86% of the worlds goods......it certainly makes you take a look at what you can do to help........consider joining the Oxfam global community and work towards ending the cycle of poverty...by signing up as a regular contributor, shopping at their stores and buying Fair Trade tea, coffee etc.....open your heart and do what you can to help.
