My University advice me to work as volunteer while i am Studying.I search for volunteer opportunity through out the London few days.Then i found Oxfam shop in Richmond area.After three successful interviews Oxfam manager select me as a Volunteer.So I just feel to write it down about Oxfam in my blog.
What is Oxfam ?
Oxfam works directly with communities and seeks to influence the powerful to ensure that poor people can improve their lives and livelihoods and have a say in decisions that affect them.
History
Oxfam was originally founded in Oxford in 1942 as the Oxford Committee for Famine Relief by a group of Quakers, social activists, and Oxford academics; this is now Oxfam Great Britain, still based in Oxford, UK. It was one of several local committees formed in support of the National Famine Relief Committee.
Oxfam Shop
Oxfam has numerous shops all over the world, which sell many fair-trade and donated items. They opened their first charity shop in 1948.The proceeds from these usually get paid to different charities or are used to further Oxfam's relief efforts around the globe.
