West Palm Beach sets the bar
Hello all!
Soha here, your Oxfam representative on the North American leg of the Viva La Vida 2009 world tour. From West Palm Beach to East Troy- Montreal to Mansfield, I’ll be your on the ground source of news for all things related to Oxfam volunteers, campaigns, and more!
The tour kicked off with bang yesterday at the Cruzan Amphitheater in West Palm Beach, FL. Team West Palm Beach consisted of 20 of the most energetic, and enthusiastic volunteers I’ve met. How many sign-ups do you think they got Friday night? Go ahead, make a guess!
Last year, Oxfam volunteers at Coldplay concerts all over the world recruited 80,000 strong against poverty, hunger, and social injustice. This summer, Oxfam America has challenged its teams to recruit 30,000 new Coldplay fans to support Oxfam.
Have you joined Oxfam yet? or know someone who wants to? You can join our e-community now by texting the word “viva” to 30644. By signing up, you’ll join 80,000 other Coldplay fans and help Oxfam America reach its goal of 30,000 new voices against poverty!
Stay tuned to this blog for more specific details of Oxfam America’s petition to President Obama, the number of sign-ups recruited by Team West Palm Beach, and pictures from that night taken by a team member, Devin. She was a special addition to the team because, in addition to being an amazing campaigner, she’s also going to school for photography and took pictures for us that night with her professional camera.
Until next time,
