Race to GROW a better world

Campaigning for change article written on the 06 Feb 2013

Interested in an adventure that helps those in the greatest need around the world?

Want a challenge where you can help Oxfam in their fight against poverty and injustice?

Well here is your chance. In February Oxfam Australia along with 6 other organisations are coming together to give you and your friends the opportunity to help make the world a better place.

The goal – for teams of 2 -4 people to complete six challenges created by Australia’s leading charities to help those in greatest need…..just in one day!

For Oxfam Australia you will be helping us on our GROW campaign, raising awareness of the importance of food security with key decision makers. Each night 870 million people go to bed hungry. Not because there isn’t enough. But because of the deep injustice in the way the system works.

The Race is in Brisbane on the 20th Feb; Perth 22nd Feb; Adelaide 25th Feb; Sydney 27th Feb and Melbourne 28th Feb.
