OAC Philly is slowing down for the holidays...we hope you have a wonderful, safe December and look forward to seeing everyone in the New Year! We're in the planning stages for a number of events - International Women's Day in March will be the biggest - and excited for the year to come.
To catch up from our last post - the Hunger Banquet at University of Pennsylvania was a great success! Penn for UNICEF did a fantastic job. The Hunger Banquet focused specifically on the plight of children in poverty around the world. It ran so smoothly and closed with performers from different campus groups, which was a treat. A big shout-out to them for a job well done.
We also visited two International Marketing classes at West Chester University last month to talk about the Behind the Brands campaign. Coca-Cola has signed on with us (hooray!) but Pepsi and ABF continue to drag their feet. If you haven't already, pop over to the website to add your name - there's no reason for the products we consume to ruin people's lives through land grabs!
Watch this space for updates, but if you would like a question answered or to get involved in the meantime, please feel free to email me at philadelphia@oxfamactioncorps.org. We'll see you in 2014!
