my diary 2013
Possible is everything Everything we do is powered by people. People with the drive and determination to put an end to poverty. People ready and willing to make change happen for themselves. Who just want the chance to put their ideas into action. Who know that, together, we can turn nothing into something, probable into possible. It’s our world to change so let’s do it. One day, one power-packed action at a time. Start small. Have fun. Know that whatever you do with Oxfam, from ethical shopping, to marathon running, to justice seeking, to regular giving, it all adds up to ‘possible’ for poor communities worldwide.

You’re running scared. You’ve left your home behind. The little you owned is gone. You’ve walked for five days to cross the border into another country. To find refuge; relief. At the end of 2010, more than 30,000 people fled the fighting in Cote D’Ivoire and crossed into Liberia to makeshift camps. Without clean water or toilets, more people would have died. Water is an obvious life-saver, but toilets are just as important. In cramped and basic conditions, good hygiene is vital to prevent the spread of killer diseases such as cholera.
