Chile Earthquake

The second big quake of 2010 hit Chile on 27 February. An Oxfam team went in on March 1st, and you can read about Oxfam's response to the Chile Earthquake here.

At present it does not look likely that there will be a DEC appeal. There is not at present an Oxfam appeal specifically for Chile - supporting Oxfam's fundraising for emergencies around the world is currently the way in which we are helping - for example by making our Bookfair on 27 March (at the Wesley Memorial Church, New Inn Hall Street, Oxford) as successful as possible.

Haiti Earthquake appeal - Street collection in Oxford 23 January

We are organizing a street collection in Oxford City Centre for the Haiti DEC appeal this coming Saturday (23 January). Based at the Oxford Town Hall, we will be putting collectors onto the streets from 9.30 - 16.00.

We're all set. What we need now to maximise the money we can collect is every last person we can get onto the streets with a collecting tin for an hour or so. Oxford is a big place, and the collection needs all the volunteers we can get in order to raise the kind of money the Haiti appeal so desperately needs.

Can you help? Email us at volunteer@oxfordoxfamgroup.org.uk to tell us what time you can be there.
