Oxfam Unwrapped: Return of the goat

Hey hey, hope you're all doing OK today. Just a quick blog (sorry they've been a bit sporadic of late, busy times behind-the-scenes at GWhy HQ). Just wanted to tell you about the all-new Oxfam Unwrapped Christmas catalogue. You may remember it from last year - when everyone was buying our dear ol goat for Xmas (just found out we managed to sell 17,000 goats last year). The idea is simple: rather than buying your usual Xmas gifts - socks, perfume, singing Elvis fish - you buy someone a gift connected to Oxfam's work, that will make a real difference to people in poverty.

For example, goats (which are £24 a pop) can be bred and then sold to raise cash for school fees. Or you could build a toilet for just £30, which will help prevent the spread of deadly diseases in crisis situations. There are LOADS of different, great value gift ideas - 100 school dinners for just £6, 5 lots of student school kit for £20, an essential hygiene kit for £12... If you're feeling flash (and flush for cash) you could even build a classroom for £1,700!

So, what are you waiting for? It's a top idea - get your friends and family a goat this Xmas. Or a donkey. Or even a rather handsome camel. Find out more at www.oxfamunwrapped.com.
