Julie Jarman, Oxfam UK:
Farah starts explaining the work of the Oxfam Youth unit. In simple terms, 
their mission is as follows:
- To enable and empower young people to be active global citizens
Their ‘wants’ are two fold:
- Young people to have the values, knowledge, understanding and skills to respond effectively to global issues & influence the environment in which Oxfam campaigns.
- Young people to take effective action as part of the global movement to overcome world poverty.
The complete set of slides used by Farah and Julie are available here.
