Support of Oxfam Canada

For all the fierce & fabulous people who will be in the Ottawa area on May 14, 2011, I wanted to share with you a special event happening at Buddha Bar located on 104 Clarence Street.  The Fierce Fabulous Females Event in Support of Oxfam Canada event will donate all the net proceeds to Oxfam Canada.  Before the dancing begins, ladies can pamper themselves to make-up and nail treatment between 5-10 p.m.  After 10 p.m. the doors will open for dancing with DJ talent BIGSTUFF, national slam poet champion and Ritalin performing.   

Oxfam Canada is a wonderful non-profit organization that supports long-term development, advocacy and emergency programs in 28 countries around the world.  Some of the programs offered in the different countries focus on gender-based violence, empowering women, rehabilitations of communities after natural disasters and strengthening health, education & essential services.  Reading through the website it seems like the organization tailors each support program specific to the countries needs.  I think this is really proactive in that every country and culture is very different.  The individualized approach of Oxfam Canada is probably difficult and resource consuming to implement but the pay off in the end would be much more beneficial.
