The Oxfam Challenge

USA vs Canada…who is more generous?

Polymath 6 (P6), a group of six Harvard graduate students, have engaged in a challenge whereby P6 team members from Canada and the USA will attempt to demonstrate their respective country’s generosity by raising funds for Oxfam America and Oxfam Canada simultaneously for a period of 21 days. P6 hopes to harness the power of numbers so that their efforts can make a difference for Oxfam. This organization is an international relief and development, non-profit entity that creates lasting solutions to poverty, hunger and injustice.

Show your patriotism by supporting international aid efforts! Everyone, including you, has a part to play in the fight against poverty and injustice. Help P6 in this fund-raising challenge by making a direct contribution to Oxfam for America or Canada. By donating to either fund, you will be supporting Oxfam emergency relief efforts and helping “P6″ win the E-4170 Harvard fundraising challenge.
